The problem you have is probably that you are running against the
untared distribution. Either you run 'make install' (check the
definitions of PYTHON_BIN and PYTHON_LIB in the Makefile first),
or you set up the *parent* directory of gendoc in $PYTHONPATH, and
copy the 'gendoc' file to some directory in your $PATH.
