Ok, try this patch:

But first make sure that error number 79 is ELIBACC on your system.
One way to do this is like this:

~ $ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 30 2002, 12:15:30) 
[GCC 3.2 20020822 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.2-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import errno
>>> errno.errorcode[79]
'ELIBACC'
>>> 

if it is something different, replace ELIBACC in the patch above with
the right value, and tell me what the correct code was.
