It works on Linux, with Zope 2.7.4.

Thanks!

Just as a note to others (I've mentioned this to Tim already) if you set an environment variable DISTUTILSDEBUG before running a setup.py, you get very verbose information about what's going on, and, more importantly, full tracebacks rather than terse error messages.

error: No such file or directory looks like a distutils error message.

This helped a lot, although I'm even more confused now:

LOL -- or something . Before going to sleep, Anthony suggested that

Bug #1110478: Revert os.environ.update to do putenv again.

might be relevant. HTF can we get a "no such file or directly" out of a putenv()?! Don't be shy.
