I'm getting this error whilst building simplejson-1.7.3 with "setup.py install" on a win32 platform.
....... creating build\bdist.win32\egg\EGG-INFO removing simplejson.egg-info\native_libs.txt copying simplejson.egg-info\PKG-INFO -> build\bdist.win32\egg\EGG-INFO copying simplejson.egg-info\SOURCES.txt -> build\bdist.win32\egg\EGG-INFO copying simplejson.egg-info\dependency_links.txt -> build\bdist.win32\egg\EGG-INFO copying simplejson.egg-info\entry_points.txt -> build\bdist.win32\egg\EGG-INFO error: can't copy 'simplejson.egg-info\native_libs.txt': doesn't exist or not a regular file "error: can't copy 'simplejson.egg-info\native_libs.txt': doesn't exist or not a regular file" I'm not sure whether this error is significant, but presumably it is because instead of just installing, the setup seems to be creating an egg and that bit is failing. Is there some easy way to avoid this broken egg syndrome and just use ordinary distutils? -- Robin Becker -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
