The Python distutils installation in OpenSuse is broken, and that's  
what causes your error messages. They have modified distutils such  
that modules are installed in /usr/local instead of /usr/bin (where  
python is located), but they did not modify the include path for  
header files. I have filed a bug report about this long ago.

As a workaround, do

	export CPATH=/usr/local/include/python2.5

and then run the compilation/installation of ScientificPython and MMTK.

Konrad.
