Comment 2 for bug 219489

This sounds like a local configuration issue. Could you please describe:

There are two different setups that I have tried bzr on, and both had
the same issue. I'm not sure what you mean with 'setuptools'; I guess
you mean the setup-function in distutil.core? I have given the version
of that file:
The first setup:

- - what commandline you are using: bash - python version 2.4.4 (#2, Apr 5 2007, 20:11:18)
- - what platform you are doing this on: Debian 4.1.1-21, linux-kernel 2.6.18-6-686 #1/ Gnome desktop 2.14.3
- - what version of distutils and setuptools you have: Distutils 2.4.4 (revision 52269); distutils.core: $Id: core.py 37828 2004-11-10 22:23:15Z loewis $
- - what are the contents of site-packages/distutils.cfg no such file present

The second setup:
- - what commandline you are using: tcsh - python version 2.4.3 (#1, Mar 14 2007, 18:51:08)
- - what platform you are doing this on: CentOS (Red Hat 4.1.1-52, linux-kernel 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5 #1) / Gnome desktop 2.16.0
- - what version of distutils and setuptools you have: Distutils 2.4.1 (revision 38355); distutils.core: $Id: core.py 37828 2004-11-10 22:23:15Z loewis $
- - what are the contents of site-packages/distutils.cfg no such file present

I hope this helps.....
