I did run in to this problem:
 
/opt/gEDA/bin/garchive: /usr/local/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file 
or directory
bob@bob geda-utils-20030901 $

I created a symlink to the real one in /usr/bin on my system.
I know the problem is cause by the first line of garchive.py.
Some thing for configure to figure out I guess.

Could it not just assume they exists in that case?  I don't like the idea
of adding yet more files to maintain.

Also the run states "file created in /tmp".  Any security risks there?
