To be clear: what exactly are you trying to install?  The Twisted 1.3
tarball?

I don't know Fedora, but I'd check to see if you have the python-devel
package installed, and if not see if it makes a difference.

Also, a bit of googling shows there's already an RPM of Twisted for Fedora:
    http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/python-twisted-1.3.0-20041213.i386.rpm

Any particular reason you aren't using that?

Let us know how you're going.
