It looks like the version of Python you have is different than what  
the TOSSIM compilation sequence expects. The beta2 RPM currently does  
not automatically determine what Python version you have and adjust  
accordingly (it should). Type

python -V

Then go to support/make/sim.extra

And change the variable

PYTHON_VERSION

to be the first two digits of your python. E.g., if you have 2.4.1,  
change it to be

PYTHON_VERSION=2.4

Also, check that you have a directory

/usr/lib/pythonX.Y

If you don't, you might need to download a python-devel RPM.
