Blender, python misinstall on MacOS X

Blender crashs immediately when I run it, due to a python misinstall. How can I fix this? The details are:

Blender 2.42 was just installed for MacOS X PPC with python 2.4. Then I compiled and installed python 2.4.3. When blender is run it quits immediately and running it in Terminal (to get an error message) gives:
dyld: Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python

The framework /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ does not exist.

Same problem here, I have ‘fink’ installed Python 2.4 but I get the same error. For the moment I solved this problem by using Py 2.3 version of Blender.

Found how to install python 2.4 properly for blender.

Get the source archive for python from the python site. Then compile and install it using the following sequence of commands in Terminal:

– move to the source directory for python
./configure --enable-framework
make
make frameworkinstall (done as root)
