Update:  I was just able to checkout the code, but when I ran the 
easy_install part, I got the following errors printed:

error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/test-easy-install-3645.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:

  http://peak.telecommunity.com/EasyInstall.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.


Any ideas as to why this is?  The errors suggest that I need to be root, 
but the Wiki says I should be my mythtv user (which I am when I run 
easy_install).

Thanks,
Harry
