do you really need python 2.6.2? snow leopard has python 2.6.1 on
board and
there are no problems compiling/using postgresql with the python that
comes
with snow leopard.

you need the 64-bit version of python (x86_64) or try compile
postgresql 32-bit (i386)

asche:~ asche$ file `which python`
/usr/bin/python: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures
/usr/bin/python (for architecture x86_64):    Mach-O 64-bit executable
x86_64
/usr/bin/python (for architecture i386):    Mach-O executable i386
/usr/bin/python (for architecture ppc7400):    Mach-O executable ppc

i have tried configuring an building with the same options as you and
it compiles without an error or warning
about python.
