[PyOpenGL-Users] installing from setup.py

[Ridwan S. <rus...@ya...>]

on mandrakelinux 10.1, after meeting dependencies and symlinking
/usr/X11 to /usr/X11R6, i did

$ python setup.py install

and got

Togl to be built: Togl-1.6
running install
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open
/usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

when i looked in /usr/lib/python2.3/, the config folder didn't exist.
python was installed with mandrakelinux 10.1. should it be there? how
do i fix this?

There's likely a 'python-dev' or 'python-devel' package for your
system.  Some systems leave out the critical files needed for building
Python extensions.  Weird idea IMO.

HTH,
