Here's what I did on a clean ubuntu server from the VMWare appliance site: #Install the system setuptools (0.6c5): $ sudo apt-get install subversion python-setuptools $ svn co svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zc.buildout/trunk/bootstrap/ . $ vi buildout.cfg ***** [buildout] parts = foxtrot [foxtrot] recipe = zc.recipe.egg interpreter = python2.5 eggs = routes ****** $ python2.5 bootstrap.py $ ls develop-eggs/ setuptools.egg-link $ cat develop-eggs/setuptools.egg-link /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages $ ls eggs/ zc.buildout-1.0.0b28-py2.5.egg $./bin/buildout -v Installing 'zc.buildout', 'setuptools'. We have the best distribution that satisfies 'zc.buildout'. Picked: zc.buildout = 1.0.0b28 We have a develop egg: setuptools 0.6c5 Installing 'zc.recipe.egg'. We have the best distribution that satisfies 'zc.recipe.egg'. Picked: zc.recipe.egg = 1.0.0b6 Uninstalling foxtrot. Installing foxtrot. Installing 'routes'. We have no distributions for routes that satisfies 'routes'. Couldn't find index page for 'routes' (maybe misspelled?) Getting distribution for 'routes'. We have a develop egg: setuptools 0.6c5 Running easy_install: /usr/bin/python2.5 "-c" "from setuptools.command.easy_install import main; main()" "-mUNxd" "/home/notroot/eggs/tmp_IqDV_" "-q" "/tmp/ tmpDtCTlqget_dist/Routes-1.7.tar.gz" path=/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages The required version of setuptools (>=0.6c6) is not available, and can't be installed while this script is running. Please install a more recent version first. (Currently using setuptools 0.6c5 (/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages)) error: Setup script exited with 2 An error occured when trying to install Routes 1.7.Look above this message for any errors thatwere output by easy_install. While: Installing foxtrot. Getting distribution for 'routes'. Error: Couldn't install: Routes 1.7 I hope that's useful output/input, Graham _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
