Installing it locally with `python setup.py` install works fine but `pip install pykrylov` breaks with the messages below. I since removed it from PyPI but I get the same error message if I try installing from the git repository. I'm hoping someone can put me on track as I've no idea what's wrong. You can see my setup.py here:

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm still getting the same error with setuptools 1.1.6. I also tried "upgrading" Numpy (since I'm using Numpy distutils) by installing from their git repository, and I'm still getting the same error.

Is anything obviously wrong with the setup.py?

Thanks again.
