I am trying to build a Python module (pyfits) but I get the following error:

# python setup.py install
  /home/steve/src/pyfits-2.2.2/stsci_distutils_hack.py:239: DeprecationWarning: os.popen3 is deprecated.  Use the subprocess module.
  (sin, sout, serr) = os.popen3(cmd)
  running install
  error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib64/python2.6/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

I get the same error when I try and build other modules so my guess is I am missing a Python development library. I am running Mandriva 2010.0, any suggestions?
