Dear All,

My computer was just updated with hdf5 and python and I hadn't switched over
to hg updating yet (bad Libby). Thus I decided to install YT from scratch to
cover all of these bases. However I am getting the following error:

Renaming
/opt/sage/4.4.4/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg
into
/opt/sage/4.4.4/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg.OLD.1286903065.35
Traceback (most recent call last):

$ ls -l  /opt/sage/4.4.4/local/lib/python2.6/
drwxr-xr-x 46 root root   4096 Sep 21 12:14 site-packages

What do i need to change to stop this happening?

Also yt_install.log says: "If compilation produces errors, or a large number
of warnings, please read README.COMPILATION.PROBLEMS"
Where is README.COMPILATION.PROBLEMS?

Many thanks,

Libby
