[XML-SIG] compile of Version 0.5.5.1,

[Chris Elliott]

I downloaded the code to my Redhat 6.1 system and tried to install it as
described in the README file (with a vies to using it with the Sketch
program)

I got the following error message on trying to install:

[root@localhost]# python setup.py build
