Out of curiosity, how does pip handle this?

Not much better. http://paste.lisp.org/+2KZE/2 and "pip install reportlab==2.5" fails with the usual "no vcvarsall" found -- no C compiler.

Hello,

Having problems here installing

http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/r/reportlab/reportlab-2.5.win-amd64-py2.... . Neither setuptools 0.6c11 nor distribute 0.6.14 gets it right.

We don't have and don't want to have a compiler on the server, so we need rely on binary packages.

- setuptools just fails miserably even with easy_install: http://paste.lisp.org/+2KZD - distribute installs it (tho in a ...-win32.egg folder): http://paste.lisp.org/+2KZE - zc.buildout cannot install it with distribute, because it wants to use the source tarball (and we don't have a compiler) or when I make it not to be able to see the tarball, it does not find the reportlab-2.5.win-amd64-py2.6.exe. I guess it does not get the platform right.

Any hints?

Run "python -c 'import pkg_resources;print pkg_resources.get_build_platform()'" (with the Python interpreter you're using.

D:\install>c:\Python26_64\python.exe Python 2.6.6 (r266:84297, Aug 24 2010, 18:13:38) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

(By the way, I think from the log you gave, that reportlab may in fact be installed and usable on your machine, despite the attempt to download it a second time and build it from source. But I could be wrong.)

Might be, but zc.buildout errs out if it detects an error by the underlying installer. And I *want* to have reportlab installed by zc.buildout. -- Best regards, Adam GROSZER -- Quote of the day: Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand. - George Eliot _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
