Make for owfs fails with invalid Python installation

[Lyle Giese-2]

I tried to search the archives for this and came up empty.  I started to
play with OWFS after purchasing some sensors from www.hobby-boards.com
and came upon an issue with OWFS 2.7p4.

I am installing on a system running OpenSuSE 10.3 (i386).  I untarred
OWFS and ran configure with no options.  Then make.  No problems so far.

Then make install.  It dies when entering modules/ownet/python with:

error: invalid Python installation: unable to open
/usr/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile (no such file or directory)

I don't need or want python modules, so I figure this is something I
don't want or need.

I retried running configure with the option of --disable-python, with no
change, same error.

I went into module/ownet and edited the Makefile by changing
ENABLE_PYTHON = true to false on line 119 and ENABLE_OWPYTHON = true to
false on line 110.  No change, still errors out in make install.

I went into module/ownet again and edited the Makefile by commenting out
line 302:

OWNET_SUBDIRPYTHON = python

Now make install works and I get owfs and everything I really need to
make this work.

I know this is not the proper way to do this, but I have no use for the
python modules as I am a perl man myself.  But thought I should mention
this issue here since I could not find anything in the list archives.

Thanks,

If you would have used --disable-owpython, then it will skip the
ownet/python directory (not --disable-python)

I did not try that as the config summary showed OWPYTHON as disabled
after running ./configure.

I also did not find a list of options that could be passed to configure.
