------- Comment #1 from jmatejek@novell.com 2007-01-08 11:25 MST ------- You need to install python-devel, then it will work as expected. I agree, it's totally confusing, but the business around moving distutils into core python is still a bit messy (e.g., on SLED this behavior is desirable, because it gives you distutils but doesn't allow you to install nonpackaged apps). Hopefully we'll sort it out soon, but as of now i can't tell whether it will mean including the Makefile in core python, or emitting "you need to install python-devel" message. Or something completely different.
