OK - haven't added any comments to bugzilla but I will but wanted to
report my lack of success thus far with building from adjusted spec
file.

First of all, it appears that both the i386 and x86_64 versions of
python devel & libs are installed so after a few abortive installs, I
removed the i386 devel and libs packages.

still though, according my build logs (both commenting out
with-pythondir= line and leaving it in)...

Configuration Summary:

Libraries:
   Freetype2 installed:     Yes
   Fontconfig found:        Yes
   CUPS installed:          Yes
   LittleCMS installed:     Yes
   libtiff installed:       Yes
   Libxml2 installed:       Yes
   Python installed:        No (or too old - 2.3 required)
Configuration options:
   Debugging enabled:       No
   cairo enabled:           No (If you don't know you need this, ignore
it)
Other details:
   GhostScript 8.15 was found at /usr/bin/gs


Good - your configure finished. Start make now

+ --with-extra-libs=/usr/lib64
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12154: line 52: --with-extra-libs=/usr/lib64: No such
file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12154 (%build)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12154 (%build)

which leads me to the obvious problem is that it is not finding what it
expects for python. I have tried the following...

in the spec file...
   --with-pythondir=%{_prefix}
   --with-extra-libs=%{_libdir}
or
   --with-pythondir='/usr/lib64'
   --with-extra-libs=%{_libdir}
or
  commenting out the pythondir altogether and
   --with-extra-libs=%{_libdir}

still no change.

It does build ok if I remove the '--with-extra-libs=%{_libdir}' but of
course, without the python scripts.
