I've been getting strange behavior with trying to use Buildout with

    Getting distribution for 'zope.interface==3.5.2'.
    No eggs found in
/var/folders/ta/taVYwGZqHuKHt5V7rcwEzE++-+s/-Tmp-/easy_install-7kLZlO/zope.interface-3.5.2/egg-dist-tmp-dC9GYL
(setup script problem?)

I first noticed it when trying to use a fresh 'bootstrap.py' from
zc.buildout (which I have traditionally not used in our projects), and
tried the 'Use Distribute' option. What was interesting was that
`zope.interface` 3.5.2 was already installed in my eggs directory, and
buildout should not have been trying to get a new one.

So this problem seems to show up with both Distribute (0.6.8?) and
setuptools (0.6c11).

Pinning setuptools to 0.6c9 does not have this problem.

I don't know if this is related, but when comparing the setuptools
0.6c9 and 0.6c11 source trees, I noticed a change in how the Mac OS X
version is looked up:

Yep, that would cause the problem you're showing above. I'll make a note to change the version check code to fall back if mac_ver() gives spurious results.
