[qmtest] Problem installing QMTest on Ubuntu dapper

[Tom Lloyd]

Thank you Mark and Stefan for the prompt response.

I have python 2.4, but didn't realize I didn't have python-dev as well.
I have since downloaded qmtest with synaptic, and it is working fine.

Will keep you posted if I have further problems.

Thanks again.
