**********************************************************************
Building PyGTK using distutils is NOT SUPPORTED.
It's mainly included to be able to easily build win32 installers
You may continue, but only if you agree to not ask any questions
To build PyGTK in a supported way, read the INSTALL file

Build fixes are of course welcome and should be filed in bugzilla
**********************************************************************
Not supported, ok [y/N]?
error: Setup script exited with Aborted

B) IN CONSEQUENCE, OPENERP-CLIENT IS NOT DEPLOYED:

openerp@openerp6desktop:~/production/openerp-client$ cat /usr/local/bin/openerp-client
#!/bin/sh
echo "OpenERP Setup - The content of this file is generated at the install stage" openerp@openerp6desktop:~/production/openerp-client$
