Error with simplejson during standard installation

[A. S. Budden]

All,

I'm trying to install typhoon on my server.  I've configured it with "python bootstrap.py -d -v 2.1.1" (following instructions from stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/a/17588080/72791).  When I run ./bin/buildout, I get:

Develop: '/opt/typhoonae/.'

warning: no files found matching '*' under directory 'src/typhoonae/blobstore/tests/test'

Develop: '/opt/typhoonae/src/bdbdatastore'

Develop: '/opt/typhoonae/src/demo'

While:

  Installing.

  Getting section rabbitmq.

  Initializing section rabbitmq.

  Installing recipe rod.recipe.rabbitmq.

Error: There is a version conflict.

We already have: simplejson 2.3.2

Note that this is after retrying the installation (and hence some stages are complete); the full output from the first time I ran it is at the end of this email for information.

It looks like it's not happy with the version of simplejson that is installed, but I can find no reference to a specific version that's required (I've got the latest package from the Ubuntu 12.04 repository).  Can anyone offer more of an insight?

Many thanks in advance,

Al
