Installation challenges with Pinax... request for assitance

[Social Network in DJango]

I followed the instructions in pinaxproject.com/docs/trunk/
install.html
I use buildout

I run the buildout command.

It fails.

I remove the following lines from buildout, then it finishes with no
errors.

< http://django-timezones.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
69,71d67
< git://github.com/brosner/django-openid.git#egg=django-openid
< git://github.com/robhudson/django-debug-toolbar.git#egg=django-debug-toolbar
< git://github.com/jezdez/django-feedutil.git#egg=django-feedutil

However, at the next step, I receive an error...

./manage.py syncdb
Error: Can't find the file 'settings.py' in the directory containing
'./manage.py'. It appears you've customized things.
You'll have to run django-admin.py, passing it your settings module.
(If the file settings.py does indeed exist, it's causing an
ImportError somehow.)

The settings.py exists and is quite long. It follows this question

Please let me know how to install correctly. Its on OSX 10.4
