Summary: make install fails with import error

Initial Comment:
I tried to install Mailman 2.1b3 and I followed the 
installation instruction exactly but make install fails with 
the following message:

--- snip ---
Compiling /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/versions.py ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/update", line 44, in ?
    import paths
ImportError: No module named paths
make: *** [update] Error 1
--- snap ---

SuSE 7.2
Python 2.2.1
gcc 2.95.3

The problem was already described here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-
July/020991.html
but no solution has been posted as far as I could see...

Any idea what I did wrong?

Did you install Python via RPM?  If so, be sure you have the
python-devel package installed.  I don't know why this is,
but I've seen reports of this problem when folks only have
the python package installed.  Installing the python-devel
or installing Python from source seems to solve this problem.
