Error Initiating system-config utilities

Hi,

I just freshly installed Fedora 8.

When i tried to run, system-config-user or any of the other system utilities, i got a "Bad Interpreter : No such file or directory "

I noted that this was becoz  /usr/bin/python did not exist. So I installed python2.5 in /usr/local/bin/python and created a symbolic link to this location.

However now when i run system-config-users, i get libuser module not found ...  the modules are currently in /usr/local/lib/python2.5

Could anybody please help me figure out how to get the system config utilites working ?

Thanks,
raj
