impossible to install mercurial?

[kc0olm at gmail.com]

I've tried install Mercurial several times, using different methods - all  
fail for some reason, even though the installers complete successfully.  
Immediately after both installs, when I ran the command hg, I got an error  
that there were no headers called linux.commands. I had read that I needed  
to install the headers, but could find nowhere that showed me how to  
install those.

I can't use apt-get, because I am not using Debian. I have both Yum and the  
RHN.

But the headers error "went away". Now, when I run hg, I get:

[root at kameronclinux mercurial-1.2.1]# hg
abort: couldn't find mercurial libraries in [/usr/local/bin  
/usr/lib/python24.zip /usr/lib/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2  
/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload  
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric  
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0]
(check your install and PYTHONPATH)


I'm at a loss. Not really at a "loss." I've been running various Linux  
distros for over 10 years, both at home and at work. Some things install  
well; others don't. Can anyone suggest something?

Thanks
