>Environment:
The problem affects FreeBSD systems that have the latest
stable Python version installed, i.e. 2.7.
NB: I've set the priority of this PR to "high" because
the problem affects *all* ports that use cmake and Python.
>Description:
The current version of cmake (devel/cmake) fails to recognize
Python 2.7 correctly.
>How-To-Repeat:
Remove Python 2.6 (or whatever older version you have installed)
and install Python 2.7. Then try to install any port that uses
cmake and Python, for example print/scribus. It will fail,
because cmake can't find the Python libraries.
>Fix:
Add this patch to the devel/cmake port:
