[MapProxy] Install problem

[DeDuikertjes]

Oliver,

That's what I tried:

 /usr/bin/python2.6 virtualenv.py --distribute /var/lib/mapproxy

but alas:

/usr/bin/python2.6 virtualenv.py --distribute /var/lib/mapproxy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "virtualenv.py", line 1475, in <module>
    main()
  File "virtualenv.py", line 528, in main
    use_distribute=options.use_distribute)
  File "virtualenv.py", line 611, in create_environment
    site_packages=site_packages, clear=clear))
  File "virtualenv.py", line 674, in install_python
    fix_lib64(lib_dir)
  File "virtualenv.py", line 890, in fix_lib64
    if [p for p in distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars().values()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/sysconfig.py", line 514, in 
get_config_vars
    func()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/sysconfig.py", line 371, in _init_posix
    raise DistutilsPlatformError(my_msg)
distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: invalid Python installation: 
unable to open /usr/lib/python2.6/config/Makefile (No such file or 
directory)

I did install distutils but the directory /usr/lib/python2.6/config/ is 
missing.
I cannot get that one repaired.

So that's why I tried skipping the virtual environment and work with 
easy_install and pip directly. Both these are missing from my python2.6 
installation as well. I've not a clue how to repair these issues
