[Zope] Zpatterns makefile problem

[Owen Smith]

Hello
    Having a problem doing the Make file bit for ZPatterns

zope@phonix:/usr/local/dc/zope/lib/python/Products/ZPatterns$ make -f
Makefile.pre.in boot
rm -f *.o *~
rm -f *.a tags TAGS config.c Makefile.pre python sedscript
rm -f *.so *.sl so_locations
VERSION=`python -c "import sys; print sys.version[:3]"`; \
installdir=`python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix"`; \
exec_installdir=`python -c "import sys; print sys.exec_prefix"`; \
make -f ./Makefile.pre.in VPATH=. srcdir=. \
        VERSION=$VERSION \
        installdir=$installdir \
        exec_installdir=$exec_installdir \
        Makefile
make[1]: Entering directory
`/usr/local/dc/zope/lib/python/Products/ZPatterns'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile', needed by `sedscript'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/local/dc/zope/lib/python/Products/ZPatterns'
make: *** [boot] Error 2

Where am I going wrong?
I know /usr/lib/python1.5/config/ doesnt exist so I tried

zope@phonix:/usr/local/dc/zope/lib/python/Products/ZPatterns$  make -f
Makefile.pre.in Makefile VERSION=1.5 installdir=/usr/local/dc/zope
make: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/local/dc/zope/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile', needed by
`sedscript'.  Stop.

any help much appreciated
