I just fought an embedding battle yesterday with Debian 2.1 --
trouble with the Debian python package (linking against
/usr/lib/python1.5/config/libpython1.5.a) but all smooth if I build
and install Python myself (linking against my
/usr/local/lib/python1.5/config/libpython1.5.a).  I haven't tried to
figure out why the Debian python package gave me fits.
