 You need to have installed the python-devel RPM.
 
 [jwt@igloo config]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile.pre.in
 python-devel-1.5.2-13

I could only find python-devel1.5.1-1.src..rpm, and it installed pretty 
fast (told me that it did not do much) with the following command:

rpm -i python-devel1.5.1-1.src..rpm

1) is this the correct way to rpm the file?
2) where can I find a newer copy (I got this from 
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/)

BTW, after the rpm, the original "make -f Makefile.pre.in boot" still did 
not work...
