OLD PROBLEM --------------------------------------------------------------
I am trying to install numpy and am first installing distutils. I am running SunOS 5.7 on a sparc Ultra-4. I installed Python after downloading it from python.org. When I try to install distutils, it reports that it cannot find the <exec-prefix>/lib/python1.5/config and indeed there is no such directory in the python distribution that I can see.

-------------------------------------------------------------- I am new to programming and python and I am afraid that I am having the same problem as Fred had...I want to install numpy and must therefore install distutils first. How can I fix the lack of the config directory and therefore its contents Makefile? I have tried reinstalling python but have had no success. I am running python on Linux red hat 6.1. Any help? Thanks kate johnston

Install the python-devel rpm in addition to the python rpm, it contains all of the files in the config directory. -- Harry Henry Gebel, Senior Developer, Landon House SBS ICQ# 76308382 West Dover Hundred, Delaware
