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.

(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

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.

Hm. What's sys.platform? Is it win32? I suspect the problem has to do with all the win32-specificness scattered through setuptools; I think I know what I need to do to fix it all, but it'll be a fairly substantial patch; can you help with the testing if I email you such a patch?

Here is a changeset for distribute that should give some idea what seems to make it work https://bitbucket.org/agroszer/distribute-0.6/changeset/1d3923b865a6 -- Best regards, Adam GROSZER -- Quote of the day: Beware of a dark-haired man with a loud tie.
