I am running Redhat 5.1 and I am having the same problem when I compile. I'm suspecting that the python 1.5 RPM is missing some component. My system does not have a /usr/lib/python1.5/config directory. Has anyone else been able to get this to run on a RedHat 5.1 system?

Will I have to compile python myself?

Andrew's earlier post answered this question for me. I grabbed python-devel from http://andrich.net/python/download.html and this solved the problem for me. Andrew M.
