installation errors as of 2.1.9 update

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download .zip of either 2.1.9 or 2.1.8(maybe even others I only tried these 
two)
2. extract files
3. type python ./setup.py build install

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected: successful installation

received:

running build_ext

gcc: utils/pyodbcconf/pyodbcconf.cpp: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Ubuntu 11.04 64bit
I attempted this with newly downloaded 2.1.8 and 2.1.9 zips.

Please provide any additional information below.

The day before the 2.1.9 release I downloaded and installed 2.1.8 without any 
problems.  I was on a new machine and had to setup the environment again, and 
when I attempted to install it using the same process as before I received the 
above error message.  I RDP'd over to the initial machine and grabbed the 2.1.8 
zip file I used there, thinking that maybe somehow the repository that the code 
was being retrieved from to create the zip file got corrupted.  Using the 2.1.8 
zip file I downloaded a day prior to the 2.1.9 update it installed immediately 
without any hiccups.

The problem seems to be with the util folder missing from the zip archive on 
google code. The work around is to download the same zip or the sources from 
github https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/zipball/2.1.9. After that just 
follow regular old "python setup.py build install".

I'm running into the same problem on ubuntu 10.04.3. I tried running "pip 
install pyodbc" and got the error above. Running "pip install 
https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/zipball/2.1.9" worked for me
