Unable to install bzr 0.6 from tarball

Hi all,

I suddenly have a need for version control on a new project, so I
thought I would go ahead and install bzr. I'm using ubuntu hoary, so I
figured the safest route would be to download the 0.6 tarball and
install it. Unfortunately, the install failed, and I don't recall seeing
anything like this on the list already.

First, I would like to see the README file mention that installation
instructions can be found in the INSTALL file. I suppose it's
"obvious"...except when it's not, for whatever reason.

Anyway, it doesn't work. Here's the failure:

kevins at misty:/download/bzr-0.6$ sudo python setup.py install
Password:
running install
error: invalid Python installation: unable to
open /usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)



Thanks,

Kevin
