error message starting lyx python: not found ++

[Alasdair Reed <alasdair%primus.com.au@localhost>]

Hi,

I have just installed lyx ( 1.4.3) from pkgsrc current. It seemed to 
install ok  with the commands

make install clean clean-depends

When I tried to start it I got the following error message:

$ lyx
LyX: reconfiguring user directory
python: not found
LyX: Done!
LyXTextClassList::Read: unable to find textclass file  `'. Exiting.

As far as can tell I have python 2.4 in /usr/pkg/lib, I think this is 
the correct version required.

Searching on the net I found there is some sort of bug that causes the 
second error message, however this message appears during compiling 
under Debian Linux, not after.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Regards,
