Mark,

Are you using Python on Windows? I've had reports (and seen evidence
myself) of a problem with Gerald on Windows. I am still trying to find
and fix the exact problem so any more information you can send me will
be very useful.

For now the best workaround is to download the .egg file from
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gerald and install using the filename, e.g.;

c:\> easy_install gerald-0.3.6-py2.6.egg

Regards,
Andy
