That is a rather old version of distutils.  A working version should  
have been included in your Python 2.4 installation.  (As the error  
message says, it is often installed in a separate package if you  
installed Python in package form.)  Check again that your Python 2.4  
installation is complete (and that you have included the -devel  
package if appropriate for your system).
