Hi! I tried build_rpm today and failed, because of this: + cd /home/jhe/src/python/extensions/cin/build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/BUILD + cd cin-1.3 + env 'CFLAGS=-O2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce' python setup.py build Traceback (innermost last): File "setup.py", line 14, in ? from distutils.core import setup, Extension ImportError: No module named distutils.core Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.49462 (%build) error: command 'rpm' failed with exit status 1 The problem here is that "python" is Python 1.5, and setup.py has a "#! /usr/bin/env python2.1" bangpath, i.e. the call in the "+ env" line should use "sys.executable", not a fixed "python" string.
