It is installing fetchmailconf.py on the root directory! This means
that pythondir and/or pyexecdir are not set correctly.

Could you run these commands and tell the output?

python -c "import sys; print sys.version[:3]"
echo $?
python -c "import sys; print sys.platform"
echo $?
python -c "from distutils import sysconfig; print sysconfig.get_python_lib(0,0,prefix='/usr/local')"
echo $?
python -c "from distutils import sysconfig; print sysconfig.get_python_lib(1,0,prefix='/usr/local')"
echo $?

Also, could you send the output of the configure script? Just the
python section of it will do.
