setup.py install does not work

[Nicholas Allen]

I downloaded the tar ball and loggerhead runs just fine but if I try to
install it with python setup.py install then I get the following error:

i see this error too. i'm not sure what it means but i'll try to figure it out. luckily, you don't need to do an install to run loggerhead, so it's not urgent.

i fixed this by just commenting out some lines in setup.py. an "install" is missing vital things like the start/stop scripts, and config files, so i'm not sure it's meaningful at all to do an "install", but at least it won't error out now.
