The python 2.4 came with my centos distribution (/usr/lib/) but I had to build and install python 2.5 myself which got installed in (/usr/ local/lib). I don't have a PYTHONPATH specified.
I have already tried running sh setuptools-0.6c8-py2.5.egg and this is the error message I got: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available so no luck there either....

Oh, but then you wouldn't have entry points, and Paster > depends on entry points.
