Y'all are missing the python-devel RPM. Install it and try again. It may
be an RPM issue, with python-devel a required package for the source
RPM. Not sure how that works; it may be that things failed just as they
should, since afaik "required packages" are specified for the binary
RPMs, but not for the src RPMs. Lamar?
