problem installing ESys with custom locations

OS: Scientific Linux 5.0

I read the faqs and still have the problem.I'm trying to install the last version of ESys in a custom location of a user "granos" /home/granos/ESyS-Particle-2.0.I installed with no problem python 2.6 and boost 1.40.0, povray amd vtk in dir. /share/applications (all apps must be installed in /share or the /home/users dirs):

[granos@master ~]$ pwd
/home/granos

[granos@master esys-particle-lastver]$ l -d /share/applications/python-2.6.5
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Apr 6 17:04 /share/applications/python-2.6.5
[granos@master esys-particle-lastver]$ l -d /share/applications/boost_1_40_0/
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jun 14 17:32 /share/applications/boost_1_40_0/

I updated the enviroment vars with python, boost, openmpi:

[granos@master esys-particle-lastver]$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib64/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/lib:/share/applications/esys-particle-2.0/lib:/share/applications/Python-2.6.5/lib:/share/applications/boost_1_40_0/lib

/share/applications/python-2.6.5/bin/python is in the PATH:

[granos@master ~]$ echo $PATH
/gridware/sge/bin/lx24-amd64:/gridware/sge/bin/lx24-amd64:/usr/lib64/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/bin:/gridware/sge/bin/lx24-amd64:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/home/share/applications/mpi/mpich2-1.2.1/bin:/root/bin:/home/granos/bin:/share/applications/povray-3.6.1/bin:/share/applications/VTK-5.4.2/bin:/share/applications/esys-particle-2.0/bin:/home/granos/Runs/analisis:/share/applications/python-2.6.5/bin

I'd set also alias python='/share/applications/python-2.6.5/bin/python'
if i run autogen.sh and configure:

 ./configure --prefix=/home/granos/ESyS-Particle-2.0 CC=mpicc CXX=mpic++ --without-epydoc --with-boost=/share/applications/boost_1_40_0 --with-boost-libdir=/share/applications/boost_1_40_0/lib --with-boost-filesystem=boost_filesystem --with-boos-python=boost_python

*** the first problem is that with this it doesn't find python2.6 in the custom install y finds the default python 2.4:
.....

configure:2059: python -c import sys # split strings by '.' and convert to numeric. Append some zeros # because we need at least 4 digits for the hex conversion. # map returns an iterator in Pyt
hon 3.0 and a list in 2.x minver = list(map(int, '2.3'.split('.'))) + [0, 0, 0] minverhex = 0 # xrange is not present in Python 3.0 and range returns an iterator for i in list(range(0, 4)): minv
erhex = (minverhex << 8) + minver[i] sys.exit(sys.hexversion < minverhex)

****the only work around is setting the var PYTHON wich the configure script use:

export PYTHON=/share/application/python-2.6.5/bin/python

#### make of course exit with error. Is there something obvious missing for you?
#### all apps. must be installed in /share/applications or /home/user because this are the shared folders for the cluster
#### I'll tried to give as much info needed without the full logs, I'd been strugling iwith the install of the last Esys version
#### with python2.6 (the default python is 2.4 and cannot be upgraded)a long time, because there are some upgrades (made #### by Tancredi and Perchero from here) that we want to run in our cluster....thanks in advance
