[Libreoffice] First-time build fails

[Juan Antonio Osorio]

I actually also tried to build Libreoffice for the same reazon (trying to
get involved
with the project through GSoC), but had problems with python. I suppose it
works
well for python 2.7 but it has problems with python 3.2 (which is the one I
have
installed).

This was the output of autogen.sh

checking whether to enable Python 2.x UNO API... yes
checking which python to use... external
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.2... python
checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking for python version... 3.2
checking for python platform... linux2
checking for python script directory...

  File "<string>", line 1
    import distutils.sysconfig; print
distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('INCLUDEPY');
                                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  File "<string>", line 1
    import distutils.sysconfig; print
distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('VERSION');
                                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  File "<string>", line 1
    import distutils.sysconfig; print
distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('LIBS');
                                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
checking Python.h usability... no
checking Python.h presence... no
checking for Python.h... no
configure: error: Python headers not found

Now, what I did was import sys and do stdout calls to replace the print. It
did finish the autogen,
but then I had problems with the python library when trying to compile. Did
anybody else have
a problem like this? maybe it would be better to state in the installation
scripts that a version
of python greater than 2.2 but less than 3.0 is needed.
