I think except for the bug in setuptools, my biggest problem was I tried to install fipy in a directory that setuptools does not like. Please see: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#mac-os-x-user-installation However, if I install fipy in ~/Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/, as required, I have problem with my other modules. I really hope that I can install fipy in the place I want. So I wonder if there is a setup.py that does not use setuptools but still can install the new fipy? Sorry for the trouble. Zhiwen
