Excellent, thank you!

openSUSE 11.3 doesn't have a package called xcb-proto-1.2, but it does
have a package called xorg-x11-proto-devel which includes a whole
bunch of files in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xcbgen. That
package was already installed on my system; it seems as though having
it installed was the problem. Trying to uninstall it, however, would
also want to uninstall just about every xorg-*-devel package from my
system, which I assume some parts of which I need to build the latest.

So simply renaming python's xcbgen directory to xcbgen.BAK allowed the
build to continue successfully. Thanks for pointing me in the right
direction.
