I had problems with modules installed as eggs before. Some modules  
don't seem to find some files or the like. Mostly it helps to install  
everything with "easy_install -Z" (i.e. unzip the egg). Further you  
must specifically include or exclude some modules or sub-modules.
Perhaps post your setup.py, otherwise it's hard to detect what could  
be wrong in your case. At least my crystal ball doesn't work at the  
moment.
