Lilypond 1.5.55 compilation problem

[Marco Caliari mt. 393101/SM]

Hi.

I've tried to compile lilypond 1.5.55 on a Mandrake 8.2 (python 2.2) but
there is an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../.././scripts/lilypond-book.py", line 1426, in ?
    do_file(input_filename)
  File "../.././scripts/lilypond-book.py", line 1340, in do_file
    chunks = process_lilypond_blocks(my_outname, chunks)
  File "../.././scripts/lilypond-book.py", line 1034, in
process_lilypond_blocks
    c = schedule_lilypond_block (c)
  File "../.././scripts/lilypond-book.py", line 1010, in
schedule_lilypond_block
    newbody = output_verbatim (body)
  File "../.././scripts/lilypond-book.py", line 488, in output_verbatim
    body = re.sub ('(address@hidden)', '@\\1', body)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/pre.py", line 179, in sub
    return pattern.sub(repl, string, count)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/pre.py", line 344, in sub
 return self.subn(repl, string, count)[0]
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/pre.py", line 366, in subn
    repl = pcre_expand(_Dummy, repl)
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Any idea?
