In our case, we configure GDB with --with-python=/path/to/python, so it doesn't need to be a location that the configury would find by itself. In your case, I think what's happening is that you have /opt/freeware/bin in your PATH, and that allows the GDB configury to find that python and therefore use it. -- Joel
