Hi, The current method to build JCC on Linux requires patching the setuptools package. Would you be interested in a patch to JCC that monkey-patches the setuptools Library and Extension classes to avoid the manual patch. It works with setuptools-0.6c7-11 and distribute-0.6.1+ without the need of manually patching setuptools. If this is not the proper place to propose a fix, please let me know.
Thanks, Caleb Burns
