Hi,

I just installed Oracle enterprise linux 5.0, and am trying to get brltty compiled and working on it.

I checked brltty out from the svn repository, and ran 

autogen
configure --enable-brlapi --enable-python-bindings
make 
make install

brltty works, but the python bindings do not appear to have been installed.

So I cd'ed to brltty/Bindings/Python
and ran:
python setup.py build

The results of the build follow:

running build
running build_ext
building 'brlapi' extension
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fPIC -I. -I. -I./../..//Programs -I./../../Programs -I./../..// -I./../../ -I/usr/include/python2.4 -c brlapi.auto.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/brlapi.auto.o -Wno-parentheses -Wno-unused -fno-strict-aliasing -U_POSIX_C_SOURCE -U_XOPEN_SOURCE
gcc: brlapi.auto.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Any help would be appreciated.
