[Tutor] Building Python 2.7.3 on RHEL 5.8 x86_64 -- Syntax Error

[Sean Carolan]

Ok, so I'm now attempting a "clean room" installation using Python 2.7.3 to
build the RPM.  Here's my installation command:

./configure --with-zlib=/usr/include; make; sudo make install

But the bdist_rpm setup command fails:

[scarolan at titania:~/Python-2.7.3]$ python2.7 setup.py bdist_rpm

error: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.67699 (%build)

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.67699 (%build)
error: command 'rpmbuild' failed with exit status 1

Where is it looking for pyconfig.h?
