   I recently tried to get Chaco (same version) running as well (on Mac 
Os X, however) and got exactly the same 'ImportError: No module named 
build_agg" error.  It seemed to derive from 'kiva/agg/setup_agg.py'.
   I've seen other reports of this error in various postings, but no 
solutions suggested.
   I installed all the packages that were recommended at: 

http://www.scipy.org/site_content/chaco/intro 

   Chaco has always looked promising to me, but I've never had luck 
getting it to work.
