That should mean Visual Studio is not installed.
Btw, you can use the precompiled Windows binaries for python 2.6.

Thanks for clarifying the issue - It seems a shame for a "cross platform" tool 
to have a dependency on a Microsoft product not mentioned as a prerequisite for 
the source code download.  (BTW I do have gcc installed on the target machine)

You can also use mingw32 (that's mentioned in the README).
The reason why easy_install uses VS as the default is because Python is 
compiled with that one.
