 I am attempting to install tahoe on my Red Hat ES 4.0 server.

 When I first attempted to install (python setup.py build), I got an error
 complaining that I needed a newer version of Python 2.4.2 or newer.

 After installing an alternate Python (2.6.4), I continued to encounter
 failures to build.

 The first complaint by the system was that the setuptool Python module was
 not available. I addressed that and tried again.

 I continued to have build failures and eventually found an obscure
 reference to the tahoe-deps collection and _auto_deps.py. After putting
 those in the source tree, I am able to run the "python2.6 setup.py build"
 command without errors, but all I get in response is the line, "running
 build."

 Nothing else happens. No tahoe executable is generated.
