What platform (OS, version) are you using?

If you're on RedHat, perhaps you've built and installed Python 1.5.2 in 
/usr/local/bin, but still have /usr/bin at the start of
your path.  In that case the configure script may be finding the
version of Python which comes with RedHat, and which does not include
the lib/python1.5/config/ directory.

For more help, I'd recommend checking the pygtk mailing list archive at
	http://www.mail-archive.com/pygtk@daa.com.au/

and/or subscribing to the pygtk mailing list and re-posting your
question there.  Instructions for subscribing are available at
	http://www.daa.com.au/~james/pygtk/

Hoping this helps...
