I have a VPS server with fedora 7. I wanted to install easy_install on this server, but I got an error saying unable to open /usr/lib/ > python2.5/config/Makefile (No such file or directory). So I installed the latest version of python from source. Now when I am trying to install libraries, I am getting an error like, "zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available"
