can't convert the .pyx files to .c
hard linking pandas/src/skiplist.pyx -> pandas-0.4.0.dev20110715_027c90b/pandas/src
'pandas/src/sparse.c' not a regular file -- skipping
hard linking pandas/src/sparse.pyx -> pandas-0.4.0.dev20110715_027c90b/pandas/src
'pandas/src/tseries.c' not a regular file -- skipping

changing the setup.py as follows:
@line10
- from setuptools import setup
- from scipy_distutils.core import setup

makes it work.
