*sigh* I empathise with Martijn now ;-)

I've done this, it doesn't help, I still get the error :-(

I did:

wget http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pyxml/PyXML-0.8.tar.gz
tar xvzf PyXML-0.8.tar.gz
cd PyXML-0.8
python2.2 setup.py build
python2.2 setup.py install

...I didnt' see any error messages but I still can't import pyexpat from Python 
2.2 :-(

What am I doing wrong?

cheers,

Chris
