Description

Building thrift 0.8.0 I get the following error:

Making all in py
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/mshaver/dl/thrift-0.8.0/lib/py'
/home/mshaver/bin/python setup.py build
File "setup.py", line 45

If I configure without Python I get the following error during the build:

Making all in rb

/usr/local/bin/rake
rake aborted!
