[Distutils] [Enthought-dev] Installation woes - again..

[Hans Meine]

Hi,

Dave P. has recently cross-posted here a mail from the enthought-dev thread I 
started, in which I describe serious problems installing the ETS with 
easy_install: 
https://mail.enthought.com/pipermail/enthought-dev/2008-April/013913.html

I have tried setuptools 0.6_rc8 as distributed with Gentoo, 0.6_rc7 as 
installed by virtualenv, 0.6_rc8 as installed with ez_setup.py, and finally 
setuptools from SVN.  I am getting really strange errors which others 
confirmed not to make much sense; please see the above description or the 
follow-up posts.  (A detailed log is here: 
http://kogs-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~meine/clean-ets-install.log )

I have worked around this specific problem for me, but I herewith offer to 
provide additional information in case anyone wants to get this fixed.

Have a nice day,
  Hans
