Problems getting python console to launch

[Emil Kantis]

Hi,
I'm looking into applying to the Python reporting and scripting engine 
project and I've built the gnucash source, with the src/python/init.py 
line changed as described in 
http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2011-March/031506.html
I ran ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnucash and set the Pythonpath to 
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/ (also tried /opt/gnucash/lib/python) but the 
python console won't load. Another person in the IRC had the same 
problem. Help appreciated.

Regards,
Emil Kantis
