Yes, sadly.  We have to build on RH7.3 because we have many customers to
support.  So we have to use something old.

Thanks.  These are the same instructions I had been following:

I noticed I was missing a setup.py; so I couldn't figure out how this
could work.  Now I see that the size of my downloaded .tar.gz is
slightly smaller than it should be.  And indeed it was incomplete.

Using 'python setup.py build_ext --force install' builds!
