Maybe somebody else on the distutils-sig has some idea, then. I'm
lost. If I had to guess though, I'd check and see if maybe your /tmp
directory has too many files or directories in it -- i.e., it seems
like perhaps easy_install is trying to create a temporary directory,
and failing before it can do anything else. (Creating a temporary
directory would be one of the very first things it does.)

Hi
I installed setuptools following the instructions at
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall...but then i
realized that this package was in my repo (i'm using Debian sid).
I tried to undo my previous installation by removing from /usr/bin
and /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages all setuptools
packages/files, and installed python-setuptools from the
repository without inconvenients. Now, when i try to use it, i get
the following error:
# easy_install -v ZopeSkel
error: /tmp/easy_install-8zRT0t: Too many links
Please, i'm stuck here, any hints will be much appreciated.
Is it the same error message each time (i.e.
/tmp/easy_install-8zRT0t)? Or does the directory name change each time?
The error is always «error: /tmp/easy_install-<XXX>: Too many links»
where <XXX> is the part that changes.
Also, is there any text that appears *before* the "error:" line,
but after you type in the command?
The only text i get is the error i mentioned, there isn't any text
before or after.
Thanks...
