Attempting to install PyXML on a machine where Python2.0 is not in a
standard location, I got the following error while running setup.py build:

========
  File "setup.py", line 218, in ?

    raise DistutilsPlatformError, my_msg
distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: invalid Python installation: unable
to open /usr/local/lib/python2.0/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
=========

The weird thing about this is that even were Python in /user/local/lib, the
directory is a) capitalized, and b) there is no /config/Makefile.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what I'm missing?
