Issue2640

I installed virtualenv, using Jythons pip with a view to using virtualenvwrapper.

$ sudo /usr/local/jython-2.7.0/bin/pip install virtualenv


virtualenvwrappers "mkvirtualenv" didn't seem to work, so I tried creating the env in the ~/.virtualenvs directory, but that didn't work:



$ /usr/local/jython-2.7.0/bin/virtualenv ~/.virtualenvs/jython-2.7.0
Cannot find file /usr/local/jython-2.7.0/Include (bad symlink)
New jython executable in /home/stu/.virtualenvs/jython-2.7.0/bin/jython
ERROR: The executable /home/stu/.virtualenvs/jython-2.7.0/bin/jython is not functioning
ERROR: It thinks sys.prefix is u'/mnt/data/home/stu/.virtualenvs/jython-2.7.0' (should be u'/home/stu/.virtualenvs/jython-2.7.0')
ERROR: virtualenv is not compatible with this system or executable


However - changing to the ~/.virtualenvs directory first, worked:

$ /usr/local/jython-2.7.0/bin/virtualenv jython-2.7.0
Cannot find file /usr/local/jython-2.7.0/Include (bad symlink)
