You have to edit the file 'make_py' and define the variables PYTH_INC and
PYTH_CONF with
corresponding directories of your Python version (i.e.
PYTH_INC=/"usr/local/include/python2.3"
or PYTH_INC="/usr/include/python2.3").
The environment variable DISLIN is used to locate the DISLIN library. You can
define it outside
of the make_py script with the installation directory of DISLIN (i.e. export
DISLIN=/usr/local/dislin).
