You didn't say what system, etc. you are running this on.

Well, that's a problem with your Python installation.  There should be
a Python lib directory somewhere with it.  On my NetBSD system it is
in /usr/pkg/lib/....  Under FreeBSD it is in /usr/local/lib/...  Check
those directories and /usr/lib for python2.x and see if config is there.

You shouldn't need to do anything manually but are you aware that you
used 2.3 and 2.4 both in this message.  Perhaps there is some confusion
on your system.

No.  Your problem is at the building stage, not code.
