Sorry for the trouble. Did you install the dependencies python-dev, libxml2-dev, libz-dev, and libbz2-dev? Please let us know.

thanks for probably the fasted ever reply.

No, I had not read the web page properly and yes, installing the
dependencies fixes the problem. Maybe the dependencies should be
rendered in flashing red on the web page?!

Thanks again and sorry to bother you,

Mark

Ok, good to know that this was all it was. We'll try to think of a way to make the dependency warning more prominent. (However, flashing red might be a bit much :-))
