Sorry, I can't reproduce this error neither on Mac OS X or on Debian.

Have you try to build other egg files from TracHacks on the same machine?

[anonymous]

Yeah – several. I have IniAdmin, TracAccountManager, TracMasterTickets, TracPermRedirect, TracXMLRpc all installed via the same method

Thanks for looking in to it

Thanks for looking in to it

Would you know a freely downloadable VmWare image file that matches your environment ?
I may give a try w/ CentOS, but I really don't have the time to install a new environment from scratch...

[ben.lancaster@…]

You could give the LiveCD a try:

​http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/CentOS/5.1/isos/i386/CentOS-5.1-i386-LiveCD.iso

My environment is a fairly vanilla install (from "official" Binaries), so the LiveCD should do you just fine.

Thanks again

I just gave a try with this LiveCD (I add to install Subversion with the standard tool though): No issue to build the egg file, I just ran

python setup.py bdist_egg

So I guess there's something wrong on your installation, but I can't tell which one.

I can send you the egg file if that helps.

[ben.lancaster@…]

If you could send over the egg file, then that'd be great.

thanks again
