It turned out that pythonmagick's configure contains ax_python_header=\ `locate python$python_version/Python.h | sed -e s,/Python.h,,` which I regard as very strange style. Since I have a mirror /Store1/usr_mirror locate locates both /usr/include/python2.6 and /Store1/usr_mirror/include/python2.6 I'm going to file a bug report. Helmut.
