'make run' error: ValueError: Invalid literal for int()

[Asupperi]

I'm trying to follow the Develping Schooltool->Quickstart guide. When executing "make run" part I get the follwoing error:
....
Getting distribution for 'mechanize==0.1.11'.
While:
  Installing package.
  Getting distribution for 'mechanize==0.1.11'.

An internal error occured due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:

This is a problem with sourceforge servers sending wrong HTTP headers. You can read this thread in the developers for a temporary workaround:

That fixed the error. Thanks for the prompt answer.

I have added the workaround to versions.cfg on the server.

http://ftp.schooltool.org/schooltool/trunk/versions.cfg
http://ftp.schooltool.org/schooltool/1.4/versions.cfg

Since all buildouts extend this one, they should magically start to work.

Gediminas,

If I do a fresh checkout of any schooltool package, core or otherwise, and then do a make, I get the following error:

Getting distribution for 'PIL==1.1.7'.
install_dir /home/aelkner/sandboxes/courseinfo/schooltool.courseinfo/eggs/tmpVxnCTM
error: Couldn't find a setup script in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL
An error occured when trying to install PIL 1.1.7. Look above this message for any errors that were output by easy_install.
While:
  Installing package.
  Getting distribution for 'PIL==1.1.7'.
Error: Couldn't install: PIL 1.1.7
make: *** [bin/test] Error 1

At first, I hoped that it was just a matter of a server being down, but it has been half a day since then, and still the same error. Please advise.

Thanks,
Alan

I have added many more download sites to allow-hosts, for PIL, reportlab, Sphinx, and others.
