Unable to compile python 2.7.2 with pythonbrew
===

I am using 64-bit distribution of Linux (openSUSE 12.1). I was trying to compile python 2.7.2 with pythonbrew but run into issues. 
Here is my install command:

    LD_RUN_PATH=\$HOME/.pythonbrew/pythons/Python-2.7.2/lib64 pythonbrew install --configure='--enable-shared --with-threads' --force -j2 -v 2.7.2

Here is my build output:
