I have encountered this type of error (No such file or directory).

First check if /usr/include/linux/errno.h exists. If it doesn't, maybe you
need to install the Linux kernel headers. Perhaps something like
kernel-headers*.rpm?

if it *does* exist, you could try editing line 25 /usr/include/bits/errno.h
changing it from

# include linux/errno.h

to 

# include <linux/errno.h>

Maybe it installed python in a place that is off your path.
