'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

Hi There,

I've installed python2.4-dev on Unbuntu linux. When I run it, it gives
an error:

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

(Get the same result if I uninstall it and install regular python2.4).

Using -v traceback gives:

'import site' failed; traceback:
ImportError: No module named site

Python is installed in:
/usr/bin/python
/usr/lib/python2.4

Have noticed that python-minimal is installed with Unbuntu and can't be
easily removed, but running "which python" shows it's running the
proper version (python2.4). Any ideas?

Many Thanks,

Huw
