[reportlab-users] Install problem with Reportlab 2.0

[Parsifal Herzog]

Installing Reportlab 2.0 on my Mandriva 2006 system fails with the 
message:

[parz at lobsang reportlab]$ python setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 258, in ?

  File "setup.py", line 177, in run

    return cmp(_rl_accel_dir_info(b),__rl_accel_dir_info(a))
  File "setup.py", line 61, in _rl_accel_dir_info
    return getVersionFromCCode(fn),os.stat(fn)[stat.ST_MTIME]
  File "setup.py", line 55, in getVersionFromCCode
    tag = 
re.search(r'^#define\s+VERSION\s+"([^"]*)"',open(fn,'r').read(),re.M)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'../../rl_accel-0.58-20061005/rl_accel/_rl_accel'

rl_accel was (apparently) succesfully installed just prior to this. The 
complete transcript of the rl_accel and Reportlab installs follows 
below. The file tested for indeed does not exist, nor does it exist 
anywhere in the rl_accel tree. What is the matter here? How can I fix 
it?

Thanks,
Walt Kelly
