Attempting to install PyXML on a machine where Python2.0 is not in a
standard location, I got the following error while running setup.py build:

========
  File "setup.py", line 218, in ?
    scripts = ['scripts/xmlproc_parse', 'scripts/xmlproc_val']
  File "/nfs/home/nrappin/Python-2.0/Lib/distutils/core.py", line 138, in

    self.run_command(cmd)
  File "/nfs/home/nrappin/Python-2.0/Lib/distutils/dist.py", line 849, in

in _init_posix
    raise DistutilsPlatformError, my_msg
distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: invalid Python installation: unable
to open /usr/local/lib/python2.0/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
=========

The weird thing about this is that even were Python in /user/local/lib, the
directory is a) capitalized, and b) there is no /config/Makefile.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what I'm missing?
