Is your cmake's FindPython configured for Python 2.4 ? :

$ cat /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPythonLibs.cmake | grep "2.4"     
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\2.4\\InstallPath]/libs/Debug
    
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\2.4\\InstallPath]/libs
  NAMES python24 python2.4 python2.4.dll
  /usr/lib/python2.4/config
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\2.4\\InstallPath]/libs
    FOREACH(version 2.4 2.3 2.2 2.1 2.0 1.6 1.5)
  /usr/include/python2.4
