What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run easy_install box2d

I get the following output which ends in an error:

Running this on Ubuntu Karmic 64bit

Never saw this one. Don't have a 64-bit platform to test on now; have you 
gotten any
further? Not sure why setuptools would be failing.

I have not gotten any further.  I have no idea how to get around this.  I'm 
fairly
new to python and pygame and hardly know what I'm doing.

This is an issue in older versions of setuptools; I found it here:
http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/41/

I'll consider making a patch for setup.py, but for now please update your 
setuptools
version.

Fixed in the 2.1.0 branch. Won't fix it in the old 2.0.2 version.
