Howdy,

To answer my own question... I'm stupid!

When attempting to try (unsuccessfully) to fix the problem with `/usr/bin/env python2` not existing I managed to rename the pygmentex.pl file to pymgmentex.pl so it couldn't be found. Now I've fixed that dumb mistake and can concentrate on trying to get that package to run on my system.

PS: Is there any python aware person out there that can tell me how to findout what the most recent Pygments version is and how I update my version if there is, in fact, a newer version. I seem to have Pygments-1.5-py2.7.egg.

Good Luck,
