Hi
I am installing setuptools using the --prefix option it complains the
directory does not exist even though it does. The install works however when
I use the --instal-dir option as it recommends.
Thought I would pass this along

Hari,
I think this works if you use --root=/ along with --prefix=foo.
So, if you wanted to install in, for example, /Library/MyPackage/,
you'd say, --root=/ --prefix=/Library/MyPackage.
I think this is better than using --install-dir, because it handles
platform issues like lib vs lib64 on Red

But adding extra parameters should be unnecessary in this case.
True, but I was just explaining the difference between --prefix and
--install-dir, which would be relevant for people on all platforms
and most all installation directories. ;-)
