Virtualbox-ose install problem on 9.1 Release

I've been trying to install virtualbox on a fresh install of FreeBSD.

Code: 
$ uname -a
FreeBSD futurist 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0 r243825: Tue Dec  4 09:23:10 UTC 2012     root@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

The build keeps failing with this error:

Code: 
Checking for Mesa / GLU: found (inactive), OK.
Checking for Qt4: found version 4.8.2, OK.
Checking for Qt4 devtools: found version 4.8.2, OK.
Checking for Python support: 
  ** Python not found!
Check /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-4.1.22/configure.log for details
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to vbox@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-4.1.22/config.log"
including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be
a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system
(e.g. a /usr/sbin/pkg_info -Ea).
*** [do-configure] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose.
*** [build] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose.

Checking the config.log, it seems to be failing because it can not find libpython2.3
Code: 
#include <cstdio>
#include <Python.h>
extern "C" int main(void)
{
  Py_Initialize();
  printf("found version %s", PY_VERSION);
#if PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x02030000
  printf(", OK.\n");
  return 0;
#else
  printf(", expected version 2.3 or higher\n");
  return 1;
#endif
}
using the following command line:
g++ -O -Wall -o /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-4.1.22/.tmp_out /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-4.1.22/.tmp_src.cc -I/usr/local/include/python2.3 /usr/local/lib/libpython2.3.so
g++: /usr/local/lib/libpython2.3.so: No such file or directory
/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-4.1.22/.tmp_src.cc:2:20: error: Python.h: No such file or directory
/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-4.1.22/.tmp_src.cc: In function 'int main()':

/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-4.1.22/.tmp_src.cc:6: error: 'PY_VERSION' was not declared in this scope
** Python not found!

It would seem to me that it supposed to try and find any version of libpython that is 2.3 or greater but for some reason is not doing so. I even tried using libmap.conf to direct it to use libpython2.7 but that did not work either.

Any suggestions?
 
Check that is no reference of PTH in pyconfig.h
# grep WITH_PTH /usr/local/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h

If you have compiled with PTH enabled, then try disabling it:
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python27 && make config && portmaster -r lang/python27

After, install emulators/virtualbox-ose.
 
Thanks!

It seem as if the config option in the python port for PTH does nothing as I built it with that on. In the end the work around to create the links works out.

Having PTH enabled is the problem, I think. If you find yourself copying or linking files to make a port works, it means something is wrong with your system or the port. Please open a PR for this.
 
I had assumed from the other thread that one was filed, but I can not seem to find it search the PRs so I will file one.
