You shouldn't need to get it from anywhere, iiuc.  There should be a
zc.buildout in your eggs directory.  It looks like bootstrap did not run
completely for you.  Here's what I get on a fresh 3.0 tree of bzr tip:

% python bootstrap.py
Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg

% ls eggs

% ls bin
buildout*


What OS are you on and where did your python2.6 come from?
