Do you have an older version installed?

Works rather flawlessly for me with the Debian builds.

I just do

  CC="$(cxxcompiler)" \
  CXX="$(cxxcompiler)" \
  CFLAGS="$(compilerflags)" \
  CXXFLAGS="$(compilerflags)" \
  $(PYTHON) setup.py build

and

  $(PYTHON) setup.py install --prefix=$(debtmp)/usr
 
I used to use 2.2, and have now switched to 2.3.
