Hey,

Thanks a lot for your response!

Unforturnately, I still haven't been able to resolve my problem
completely. I did manage to get the python minimal installation
through and my Cantera test programs seem to be working. When I
manually try to run the python setup in Cantera/python, I still
see the same error I've been getting.

bsingh@bsingh-desktop:~/BHUPI/software/cantera-1.7/cantera-1.7.0/Cantera/python$
sudo python2.5 setup.py build

Any ideas/suggestions on how to get the full installation
working?
