How did you install it there? Via easy_install, or using some other
process? I suspect that you installed it some way that didn't include the
setuptools.pth file.
Check for a /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/setuptools.pth file. It's
probably missing. Alternately, you might see if there is an
easy-install.pth, or some other .pth file that points to the setuptools egg.
If there is none, I'm guessing you installed a broken RPM or other broken
packaging of setuptools, and you should report the problem to whoever
packaged it.
