Hello,

I've installed 1.6.6.2, but now when installing 1.7.0.1 (same machine) I get

make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/csoliver/SAT-Algorithmen/OKplatform/ExternalSources/builds/Git/git-1.7.0.1/perl'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/csoliver/SAT-Algorithmen/OKplatform/ExternalSources/builds/Git/git-1.7.0.1/perl'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/csoliver/SAT-Algorithmen/OKplatform/ExternalSources/builds/Git/git-1.7.0.1/git_remote_helpers'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 5, in ?
    from distutils.core import setup
ImportError: No module named distutils.core

I'm using

make configure sh ./configure --prefix=InstallDir make all

I've checked the README and INSTALL file, but I don't see that there are new requirements? (That is not regarding doc.)

Oliver
