I can't install ez_setup.py on centos 5

Here is what's happening

[root@sehaleys-mac bin]# python ez_setup.py
Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-p
y2.7.egg

IT appears zlib is in untared Python-2.7 file ...
yet did not install to python2.7
I was not able to configure it
./configure –with-zlib=/usr/include


[root@sehaleys-mac ~]# find $HOME -name '*zlib*'
/root/Python-2.7/Demo/zlib
/root/Python-2.7/Demo/zlib/zlibdemo.py

/root/Python-2.7/Lib/encodings/zlib_codec.py
/root/Python-2.7/Lib/test/test_zlib.py



Any suggestions?

Thanks
