Trying to get this setup in preparation for impending Avalon arrival.

Machine is running 64 bit version of Ubuntu 12.10.

Here is a transcript of my pain:

The required version of distribute (>=0.6.28) is not available,
and can't be installed while this script is running. Please
install a more recent version first, using
'easy_install -U distribute'.
(Currently using distribute 0.6.24dev-r0 (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages))
error: Setup script exited with 2

It looks like Stratum is demanding a version of distribute of >=0.6.28 and doesn't recognize distribute 0.6.36.

Any suggested workarounds?

thanks,

Maybe follow the actual instructions? I dont install it as root. sudo carries some path environment variables across.

Which might be causing what happens. Also you are not in the git directory, when you do the easy_install stratum be in the directory before the stratum directory.

If both of those dont work.

change directory to inside the stratum directory.

then

Code:

sudo python setup.py install
