[XML-SIG] Problems Building PyXML

[Daniel Graham]

Hi,

I've run into a problem with both PyXML-0.5.3 and PyXML-0.5.4 on my
linux box (RedHat 6.1).  The output from "python setup.py build" for
each follows.  I'm a newcomer to python (but already love it) and not
much of a hand at c and would greatly appreciate any pointers you
might give me.
