Trust me, and please take the time to verify yourself, and let me repeat once and for all: the "config" subfolder is a deprecated feature in Python. It's gone. Bye bye to "config". It no longer exists in Python distribution 1.5.2.
OK - I just pulled down a _fresh_ copy of py152.tgz (eschewing the source copy that came with RedHat 6.1), and built it using: ./configure --prefix=/usr/foo --exec-prefix=/usr/foo make make test make install Finally, examining the results: [dt@nipnyep Python-1.5.2]$ ls /usr/foo/lib/python1.5/config/ Makefile Setup.local config.c.in makesetup Makefile.pre.in Setup.thread install-sh python.o Setup config.c libpython1.5.a ${PREFIX}/lib/python1.5/config - same as my other install (or, as Aristotle said, "deprecated, my arse"). I think you will find that your problem stems from not having installed Python, but instead are running it from your home directory.
As you can see, a lot of your files that used to be inside the "config" subfolder are nowadays at the root of the Python installation directory.
No, they're not.
It seems to me that Python installation has changed substantially from 1.5 to 1.5.2.

Regards and thanks again to all who have helped. I'll post a summary on how to install ZPyGreSQLDA with Python 1.5.2, if I succeed to. :)
I've done it, and it just worked. ZPyGreSQLDA built "out of the box" with no problems, and it runs fine. As I said before, your grievances appear environmental. Regards, Daryl Tester
