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

slightly smaller than it should be. And indeed it was incomplete.
Using 'python setup.py build_ext --force install' builds!
