When running Virtualenv 1.6 on Mac OS X 10.6.7, Python 2.7.1

I'm currently trying to set up pinax on top of Python 2.7.1 and Django 1.3.

For the first few steps, one is required to set up virtualenv, with the following commands:

$ virtualenv mysite-env

$ source mysite-env/bin/activate

(mysite-env)$

I execute the first command, and it creates a mysite-env directory, but gives the following error:

New python executable in mysite-env/bin/python

Error [Errno 2] No such file or directory while executing command install_name_tool -change /Library/Frameworks/.../Versions/2.7/Python @executable_path/../.Python mysite-env/bin/python

Could not call install_name_tool -- you must have Apple's development tools installed Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Executing the second command does not work (this makes sense considering the first failed):

bash: mysite-env/bin/activate: No such file or directory

I've read up on others that have had similar problems.

On another thread, someone mentioned there's a bug with Virtualenv on 10.6.

On google groups, another person offered a patch for Virtualenv 1.3.3.

What is my best bet at this point? Should I install Virtualenv 1.3.3 and try the patch (I know it doesn't work for 1.6), or should I try to make it work with my current version? Is there an alternative to Virtualenv I could use (keep in mind I am contrained by the setup of pinax).

Appreciate the help.

install_name_tool command is a part of Mac OS X Developer Tools. Install Xcode to get it.
