In your home directory there is a .buildout directory and within it can be a file default.cfg. Is /root/.python-eggs mentioned there? If yes, then remove the line it is on. The same for buildout.cfg if that /root directory is mentioned there. Perhaps something funky is going on due to some sudo or su usage. You could do: export PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=/home/yourname/.python-eggs run bin/buildout and see if that helps. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ Work | http://zestsoftware.nl/ "This is your day, don't let them take it away."
