[XML-SIG] Problems installing PyXML-0.5.5.1

[Kiri Wagstaff]

Hello,

I recently downloaded PyXML-0.5.5.1 but have been unable to install
it.  I'm running Linux.  The README says to

> 1)
>  Run "python setup.py build" to copy *.py files and compile the C
>  extensions.

When I do this, I get the following output:


Executing 'build' action...

Can you offer any suggestions?

    Thanks,
