New description:

 Right after python setup.py build and sudo python setup.py install,
 running $ tahoe gives this error:
 https://gist.github.com/967983

 I checked, and the file is in fact unreadable

 -rw------- 1 root staff 208 2011-05-12 01:22 /usr/local/lib/python2.6
 /dist-packages/allmydata_tahoe-1.8.1-py2.6.egg-info/requires.txt

 Running standalone, with bin/tahoe works just fine

Comment:

 I think this was a problem with his root umask. Also, we no longer
 recommend installing as root to the system: our current virtualenv-based
 instructions won't require that.

 Closing as INVALID. Please feel free to re-open if you disagree.
