Compile on RedHat 6.0 Fails

[True-night]

Upon running python setup.py install, the following errors occur:

ERROR: Python module LaunchpadIntegration not found
ERROR: Python module keybinder not found
ERROR: Python module appindicator not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 104, in <module>

Not sure if you're willing to help out with this, but it'd be great to get this on RedHat systems as well.

RHEL6.0 Workstation

I commented out the lines that were throwing errors in setup.py and it seems to have successfully compiled.

Which lines did you modify?

I get the same problem with this on Ubuntu 12.04.

It also presents itself in exactly the same way for indicator-weather as well.

And my instance turned out to be slightly different so sorry for the noise.

~ # python2.7 setup.py build -b build-2.7 install

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 81, in <module>

Worked around by specifying the build directory name with no numbers, like this:
~ # python2.7 setup.py build -b build install
