[Metakit] Question on compiling Metakit for Mandrake 10 (Python 2.3.3)

[wayne at mishre.com]

Hello,

I have a question on compiling Metakit 2.4.9.3 for Mandrake 10 with Python
2.3.3.

How do you do it? :)

I get the following error when I type "python compile.py build" in the
~/metakit/2.4.9.3/metakit-2.4.9.3/python directory:

running build
running build_py
running build_ext
running config
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open
/usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

Which is good, because there is no /config directory.  Do I need to have the
python source on my system to install metakit?

Thanks for any help,

Wayne
