I am on a mac. Does pymatlab support mac's? I tried the linux 64 bit egg
(downloaded to my local machine) and got:

macshevitz:~ dannyshevitz$ sudo easy_install pymatlab-0.1.3-py2.6-linux-x86_64.
egg
Password:
Searching for pymatlab-0.1.3-py2.6-linux-x86-64.egg
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pymatlab-0.1.3-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/
No local packages or download links found for pymatlab-0.1.3-py2.6-linux-
x86-64.egg
error: Could not find suitable distribution for
Requirement.parse('pymatlab-0.1.3-py2.6-linux-x86-64.egg')

I am in the same directory as the egg when I do this. I am certainly doing
something stupid, but don't know what it is.

thanks,
Danny
