phillip eby suggested that "python-dev" is not installed and this
should be the cause. blastwave does not really offer such a thing, so
i tried to check the files, and took debian solaris as example:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/sparc/python2.5-dev/filelist

the header files are there, as well as the .so file /opt/csw/lib/
libpython2.5.so. but

/opt/csw/lib/python2.5/config/Setup
/opt/csw/lib/python2.5/config/Setup.config
/opt/csw/lib/python2.5/config/Setup.local
/opt/csw/lib/python2.5/config/config.c
/opt/csw/lib/python2.5/config/config.c.in
/opt/csw/lib/python2.5/config/install-sh
/opt/csw/lib/python2.5/config/libpython2.5-pic.a
/opt/csw/lib/python2.5/config/libpython2.5.a
/opt/csw/lib/python2.5/config/libpython2.5.so
/opt/csw/lib/python2.5/config/makesetup
/opt/csw/lib/python2.5/config/python.o

is missing. could it be that setuptools would miss this?
