Comment 1 for bug 483918

I am experiencing the same issue (Centos 5.1 x64, using Python 2.5.2 and GCC 4.4.3), but bypassing this issue as follows:

    tar xzvf ipython-0.10.tar.gz
    cd ipython-0.10/
    gzip -d docs/man/*
    python2.5 setup.py bdist_rpm

The rpmbuild still fails though with the following error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "setup.py", line 35, in <module>
        from setupbase import (
    ImportError: No module named setupbase

Running "python2.5 setup.py install" works, but to get ipython running without errors I still have to do the following first:

    mkdir -p /root/.ipython/
    touch /root/.ipython/ipythonrc
