We had a bug report that dnssec-checkds, dnssec-coverage and dnssec-keymgr 
where not
being installed by default and yes, that is a bug.  You can choose not to 
install
them by specifying -—with-python=no to configure.

The configure message is saying that you don’t have the “ply" python module 
installed.
You need to install it.
