Hi Diez... I've never used setuptools, (it's not on the box) and i don't have easy_install tools installed...
But in looking at your output, I have some questions... -The 1st, I'm assuming that easy_install works with python2.4.3? -The 2nd, In the output, is see the durus egg... with the "durus" path being relative to the egg... are the actual durus files in that dir?? -3rd question.. in searching the 'net, it appears that i have to download setuptools in order to get easy_install. Am I missing something here, or is this correct? Thanks for your pointers on this!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Diez B.

I doubt that. And I get the feeling that you did not read anything belonging to setuptools I pointed you to. I just did this: 192:/tmp deets$ easy_install-2.5 -Z durus Searching for durus Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/durus/ Couldn't find index page for 'durus' (maybe misspelled?)

I don't know what durus is, how to use it and I don't care about it, so I can't comment on your actual problems with durus itself.
