If you look in /var/log/ipaserver-install.log there should be a python 
backtrace, we'd need to see that.

Alternatively when we build and test from source we tend to use: make 
rpms and install the results from dist/rpms. I do this because it makes 
it easier to do replication and client testing and be sure I'm using the 
same bits everywhere.
