[BioPython] Biopython in Freespire

[Sebastian Bassi]

To avoid previous problems, I am trying to install Biopython under Freespire.
Easy methods (CNR and apt-get) has only old packages. So I will do it "by hand".
I have both python2.3 and 2.4
Fist I wanted to meet dependencies.
I started with Numpy, downloaded it from Sourceforge and followed the
INSTALL file:

sbassi at hp:~/bioinfo/Numeric-24.2$ python2.4 setup.py build

error: invalid Python installation: unable to open

I don't have a config directory under /usr/lib/python2.4/
Any help?
