Yeah; this is the right fix. > > Then the freshly built libxml2 and libxslt were deleted, the tarballs > redownloaded > and rebuilt. > > Is there any way to move the setuptools check so that it occurs before the > wasted > download/build cycle? This would be a fix to zc.recipe.cmmi I believe, although I don't know what. You could also try adding this line to your [buildout] section: download-cache = somedirectory That might at least prevent buildout from redownloading the libx* software. FTR, this is a one-time fix, I believe. > 2) built a project from the template per instructions. bin/paster was > fine. > cd myproject; ../bin/python-bfg setup.py test -q > did not run.

This is a buildout-related thing having to do with what the expression: os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) in bfg's setup.py results in under a buildout-generated Python "interpreter". I've added some error handling to bfg's setup.py that will make your workaround unnecessary in the next revision (0.5.4) of BFG.
