Installing BitTorrent-4.20.4 - weird problem

Hi. I am trying to install BitTorrent-4.20.4 from sources, but I come
to a standstill. I read in some information file in BitTorrent sources
directory how to install BitTorrent using Python:

How to install BitTorrent using Python's distutils system:
----------------------------------------
Install BitTorrent by running this from the root of the source code
directory:

$ python setup.py install

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
, so I do everything in this way and I get:


--------------------------------------------------------CUT
HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@localhost BitTorrent-4.20.4]# python setup.py install
running install
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open
/usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
--------------------------------------------------------CUT
HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought that I have some unsuitable version of python or something,
so I downloaded the latest version 2.4.3 and there is still the same
problem. I don't understand this.

There is other way to install this BitTorrent package:

How to build an .rpm format package and install it:
----------------------------------------
Generate an .rpm format package:

$ python setup.py bdist_rpm

Then install the .rpm:

$ sudo rpm -i dist/BitTorrent-5.x.y-1.noarch.rpm

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
so I did that and I get:

--some other text--
running install
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open
/usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
--some other text--

Can anyone tell me what I have to do to install this BitTorrent package
?

best regards,
