Build tries to install pip 0.7.2 then explodes because it's not pip > 1.0

This happens:

Adding mock 1.0.1 to easy-install.pth file

But... the pip installed is 1.5.2
pip 1.5.2 from /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages (python 2.6)

Not clear

1) Why is the build trying to install pip when pip is already installed?

2) Why is the build installing an OLDER version of pip than what is installed?

3) Why is the build installing an old version of pip than is required by other packages in the same build?

Aggh, solution was:

sudo pip install -U virtualenv

then the install worked.
