[Distutils] Using setuptools without root permissions

Hi Phillip,

I think you've found where my problem is, line contains
/users/home/murciano/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a5-py2.4.egg
instead
/home/murciano/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a5-py2.4.egg

Correcting the line makes setuptools and pkg_resources work :-)

I still now nothing about my hosting filesystem, pwd returns
   /users/home/murciano
but it seems I must use
   /home/murciano
to put anything to work. I'll ask my admins about that.

Thank you very much Phillip, my headache is over now :-)

Greetings,
     Raul
