I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to fix this. You might try making sure that you have the most recent version of distutils. Aside from that it should work since others have installed on Irix 6.5 successfully. Maybe something in the python installation is munged up. The include directories selected for the python system are done by distutils and not by the PyOpenGL setup directly....

I updated our Distutils from 1.0.2.pre to 1.0.2 and still get the same error. This sounds like a bug in Distutils to me. It seems that it automatically adds sys.prefix+'/include/python'+sys.version[:3] to the include directories, which works fine as long as your Python interpreter is installed under sys.prefix in which case config.h is really in sys.prefix+'/include/python'+sys.version[:3]. But I believe that it still is legal to install Python specifying sys.exec_prefix, in which case config.h is found in sys.exec_prefix+'/include/python'+sys.version[:3] I checked with Sophie Coon (who has used Disutils previousely to build extensions here) and she confirmed that she had to add this directory explicitly using the setup.py file. For PyOpenGL, we tried to add: depInclude = sys.exec_prefix + '/include/python' + sys.version[:3] and: libraries = [('interface_util', {'sources':['src/interface_util/interface_util.c','src/interface_util/platform.c '], 'include_dirs' : [depInclude]}), but the directory still does not show up on the compilation line :( -Michel
