Do you need uwsgi? If so then you must install support for it. Can't
help you there. Remove these modules from the build and I venture that
it will build and install.

You can get my source package: http://debian.perusio.net and build it
in Squeeze. That's for 0.9.4. I've built that previously on a mixed
Lenny/Squeeze.

HTH,
