Hi Bruce,

some time ago it was possible to build PyKdump with distribution-provided 
Python, but then I have realized it does not make much sense as it would be 
difficult to redistribute it.

So the only supported approach at this moment is to to build Python from 
sources first and then build PyKdump using Python libraries from this build. 

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pykdump/index.php?title=BuildingGit

explains this in more details. In particular, you need to specify _both_ 
locations of crash sources and Python sources, e.g.


$ ./configure -p /src/Python/Python-2.7.2 -c /src/kerntools/crash-6.0.3

After this slocal.mk will be created.

Regards,
Alex
