Thanks a lot! I'll give it a shot. The other programs I'm trying to install are complaining:
crypto.h:12:26: error: openssl/hmac.h: No such file or directory
crypto.h:13:25: error: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory
crypto.h:15:25: error: openssl/rc4.h: No such file or directory
crypto.h:16:25: error: openssl/aes.h: No such file or directory
Which is the openssl. Hopefully this will fix it. I'll post my results.
Update:
Good news! Since I'm using the 1GB SD card I installed Perl on my USB drive. Then I installed your python package to /mnt/storage and tar'd openssl (I need the development package) to /mnt/storage as well and it is now compiling. Hopefully I can install my other packages now...
I need to setup a scratchbox because it takes awhile to compile on the Chumby.
