Using Linux, I had trouble with zipped eggs when run from the web
server.  I no longer have copies of the the error messages, but they
related to permission problems with unzipping the egg.  I realize that
this error message does not seem to fit my scenario, but thought it
could be worth mentioning.  

I set my distutils.cfg file to contain::

[easy_install]

zip_ok = False
