On Fedora 8 I get this message:
Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_bsddb
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the
module's name.

On Kubuntu 6.06 LTS I get the same message, but about different modules:
_hashlib _ssl bz2

In previous versions when headers or libraries couldn't be found I
thought the correct file to change was Modules/Setup or
Modules/Setup.local. If this is still the case then the above error
message should perhaps be changed?

BTW For Fedora 8, bsddb won't work since according to Modules/Setup the
most recent version supported is 4.0 while Fedora 8 has 4.4.
