Mm no it doesn't let me do it, returning the same error... I might have messed something maybe then, not sure what exactly. Can the easy_install.pth influence this?
I don't know, maybe it's related to the per-user environment but I am not sure. What you can do to make sure you have a clean central install (after a backup of site-packages) is: 1/ remove any occurences of those in site-packages (egg dirs, code dirs) - setuptools* - distribute* - pkg_resources* 2/ open easy_install.pth and remove any line starting with setutptools or distribute 3/ do a fresh install of Distribute (since that's the one you initially had) $ wget http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py $ sudo python distribute_setup.py If you still have the issue, try to backup your user's local python dir, remove it and try again with the --user option HTH Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org
