I'm trying to install Review Board (http://review-board.org) with
python-setup tools and "sudo easy_install ReviewBoard", but this
fails as follows:

a more recent version first.

error: Setup script exited with 2
Unfortunately, the python-setuptools for CentOS 5 is version
0.6c5-2. I already have python-imaging-1.1.5-5 installed, but the
configuration is trying to install PIL 1.1.6. I've never used
easy_install/python-setuptools before (I'd never heard of it until I
read the installation instructions for Review Board), so I don't know
if it's possible to modify the configuration files to use PIL 1.1.5.
Or if there is another/better way to install Review Board. So before
I re-invent the wheel, has anyone else successfully installed Review
Board on CentOS 5 and is willing to share their experience?
Thanks,
Alfred
