Virtualenv returning a 'No such file or directory...' error

python, virtualenv

Solution

virtualenv looks to be trying to install pip using easy_install from a local archive. Can you verify that it exists at `/usr/local/lib/pytho...pport/pip-1.1.tar.gz` ?

You may want to ensure that you have pip properly install beforehand. Try: `easy_install -U pip` first.

Problem

The command `virtualenv --no-site-packages env/` produces the following error stack trace: ``` The --no-site-packages flag is deprecated; it is now the default behavior. New python executable in env/bin/python Installing setuptools.............done. Installing pip... Error [Errno 2] No such file or directory while executing command /home/zach/School/CS...env/bin/easy_install /usr/local/lib/pytho...pport/pip-1.1.tar.gz ...Installing pip...done.

EDIT: Figured it out. I originally installed it with pip, so I uninstalled via pip and that reinstalled via `apt-get`.
