Hi,
I downloaded the setuptools-0.6c7 version of setupttols. I run "python ez_setup.py" and it comes back with the following message back: "Setuptools version 0.6c7 or greater has been installed." I have downloade the setupttols egg ( setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg ) in this directory also. When I try to run the "python easy_install.py setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg" command , I get the following error in the last lines: File "/downloads/www.python.org/setuptools-0.6c7/setuptools/archive_util.py", line 154, in unpack_zipfile data = z.read(info.filename) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/zipfile.py", line 353, in read raise RuntimeError, \ RuntimeError: De-compression requires the (missing) zlib module
I have all the zlib libraries installed an in the path.
Is there perhaps a "python-zlib" package provided by your OS? That sounds like what's missing.
