Hello,

I tried to install Biopython 1.1 on a Mandrake (MDK) box. The MDK
version is 9.0. The Python included is 2.2.1. I installed Numpy from RPM
(numpy was on the MDK CD) and eg-mxtexttools from RPM (downloaded from
original site). So I thought I had all the requiered pakages to install
Biopython.
Then I went with
python setup.py install
And I got (after some garbage text):
XX: Invalid Python installation: unable to open
/usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

XX stands for: distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatforError (anyway, I think
this is not relevant).

The installer seems not to find a Makefile on the config directory. That
is somehow expect, since there is no such "config" directory under
python2.2. (and I'm sure this Python works, even the IDLE works!)
I wave a working Biopython installation on Windows, and this Python2.2
doesn't have a config directory neither.
What's wrong here?
I also have a dumb question: May I just copy the Bio directory (under
site-packages) from my Win instalation over the Linux one?
