Not sure where i went wrong

[q5sys]

I'm pretty sure this problem is on my end, but I'm having an idiot moment and cant for the life of me track down where my issue is. So I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction since I'm not seeing the resolution. My python skills are somewhat limited at this point, so I'm drawing a blank on how to fix my issue.

*I know glances needs psutil, so I install that, I run pip list to make sure its installed.

sh-4.1# pip list iotop (0.5) psutil (0.7.1) vboxapi (1.0) wsgiref (0.1.2) zenmap (6.01)

*I try to run glances

sh-4.1# glances Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/glances", line 5, in from pkg_resources import load_entry_point ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

*I check my pyhon version

sh-4.1# python --version Python 2.7.3

*I see online that Ineed the setup tools package. so I go download that and install it.

How did you install glances? what OS are you using?

Did you try just "pip install glances"?

[q5sys]

I'm using a custom PuppyLinux version based on Slackware64 14.0.

I tried pip install glances, and it seemed to install fine, however upon running glances I get the following in the shell window: http://paste2.org/CmsPWFbP

I ran strace and got the following: http://slackbones.org/glances/glances-error.txt

My kernel is 3.7.10, so It should be new enough, so I'll have to go back and check my kernel .config and see if I dont have IO accounting implemented

But at least it installed well, wonder why I was having problems the other way.
