Added a note to INSTALL, after I ran into a problem testing setup.py.

Line 
1 Dabo - Some brief installation notes.

3 PREREQUISITES:
4 + Python (we recommend the latest, currently 2.4.x)
5 + MySQLdb (to run the demos)
6 + wxPython (we recommend the latest, currently 2.6.x)
7 + reportlab

9 INSTALLATION:
10 As root or administrator, execute the following shell command:
11     python setup.py install
12
13 That's it!
14
15 But... if you have trouble, and for whatever reason the setup.py doesn't
16 work, just add a file named 'dabo.pth' to your site-packages directory,
17 with the path to dabo e.g. '/home/pmcnett/projects/dabo'.
18
19 If you are on Linux and got the following error:
20 error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
21
22 and you really want to get setup.py to install dabo for you, you need to
23 install the python-dev package. For instance (on Debian):
24
25 apt-get install python2.4-dev
