Oops! Notice python2.1 here...

Ah! Notice python1.5 here. So I edited Makefile.pre.in and forced it to 
read use python2.1. This seemed to work just fine for make -f 
Makefile.pre.in boot but failed on make:

[root@hermes ZPatterns]# make
gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/include/python2.1 
-I/usr/include/python2.1 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I../../ZODB 
-I../../../Components/ExtensionClass -c ././DynPersist.c -o ./DynPersist.o
In file included from ././DynPersist.c:1:
../../ZODB/cPersistence.h:89: ExtensionClass.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [DynPersist.o] Error 1

I would have assumed the aforementioned file would be part of the standard 
distro. Is there something else I need to install?
TIA,
