That was my first thought -- when you call setup.py install are you running as root. If so, it may not be picking up your userland PYTHONPATH. Try adding the python path on the install line, eg PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
