Dear Phillip, Hello. I am a phd student from Unviersity College Dublin,Ireland. I have a problem when I tried to install python with setuptools egg files in cygwin. I did as the webpage(http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/setuptools) says. However the system said: -------------------------------------------------------------------- $sh setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg [[: not found setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4egg is not the correct name for this egg file. Please rename it back to setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4 egg and try again. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I also tried the other version which is setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg and it didn't work either. Is this because I am using 'cygwin' not 'linux'? Thank you and any feedback will be much appreciated. Regards. Hui
