[Buildbot-devel] "no script named 'buildbot'"

[Richard Woods]

This is actually my first experience installing Python applications (previously my Python experience has been limited to self-contained single-file scripts);  I don't know exactly what I'm looking for here.

Running `which easy_install` gives '/usr/bin/easy_install'.  Running `ls /usr/bin/easy*` lists that and easy_install-2.4.  Looking at those scripts, the only difference is that anywhere easy_install says 'easy_install', easy_install-2.4 says 'easy_install-2.4'.  I don't know the significance of that difference.  I also don't know which one would have come with my distro (RHEL5).

The interaction of setuputils and system installs has always left me a bit baffled.  On buildbot.net, this is how I install buildbot, and the master runs as a non-privileged user, so this "should" work.

Do you, perhaps, have several versions installed?  Can you try running with the version that your Linux distro installs (I'm making a rash assumption here..)?  Or is that too ancient?

If anyone else has better experience with setuptools, please jump in!
