[Distutils] help please

[Hui Zhang]

Hey Matt,

  Thanks so much for your reply. It works now!
  I am stuck on another probelm now. I tried to install python-devel in 
cygwin, but it seems that python-devel can not find where the python is 
and claims that a python is needed. 
  --------------------------------------------------------
  $ rpm -Uvh python-devel-2.3.4-1.m68kmint.rpm
  error: Failed dependencies:
          python = 2.3.4 is needed by python-devel-2.3.4-1
  ---------------------------------------------------------
  But acutally python 2.3.4 has been automatically installed at the 
same time when cygwin is installed.
  Have you met this problem before?
  I am looking forward to hearing from you. Many thanks again!!
  Regards.

          Hui
