pip installation fails.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use Ubuntu 11.10
2. sudo aptitude install build-essential gcc g++ make dkms python-setuptools 
python-dev dpkg-dev -y
3. sudo aptitude install libgeos-3.2.2 libgeos-dev libproj0 libproj-dev -y
4. sudo pip install pyspatialite

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output is to have pip build and successfully install.
This has worked in the past.

Over the past several days, I've seen the following errors:

$ pip install pyspatialite

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

2.6.1
Ubuntu 11.10

Thanks in advance for looking into this!

The problem is that the download page has changed. As a temporary solution 
download the files yourself from 
http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/libspatialite-sources/ and put it in the 
amalgamation folder in /pyspatialite/. 

The installer itself will be broken until the owner fixes the setup.py script.

This has been fixed, and there are now source branches for spatialite 2.3.1, 
2.4.0-RC4, and 3.0.1.  Releases are being distributed through pypi instead of 
here now.

pip install pyspatialite will by default use 3.0.1.  To use a different 
version, please download it from pypi (see the downloads tab above).

This is not fixed, if you pip install pyspatialite today you get exactly the 
error above

Please Fix this error in the setup.py  It will make the life of many developers 
easyer.
