error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

I’m completely new to python, but I ran across this program while trying to install pygopherd on my other computer, and found out the problem was that I was missing the python-devel files.

To fix this, from fedora console, I did the following:

1. su (change to super user)
2. password (password for su)
3. yum install python-devel
4. Then I updated my python installation later, as python3 is already out, and there’s probably bugs in 2.5.
