Easiest route is to install protobuf-2.3.0 from Riak's page using easy_install. Pip can't install .eggs. http://downloads.basho.com/support/ Or, you can hack around in Google's 2.4.1 to get all the setup paths right. BTW, are there any plans for the Riak python client to use the protobuf C library directly via ctypes? The pure python implementation of protobuf seems a little slow. -Nate _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
