Hi, 

I'm trying to install CKAN for the first time and am at step 6 Create database tables: 

I'm running this command: paster db init -c /etc/ckan/default/development.ini 

With this results: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/paster", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('PasteScript==1.7.5', 'console_scripts', 'paster')()

ImportError: No module named static

WebOb==1.0.8 has been installed successful: Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): WebOb==1.0.8 in /usr/lib/ckan/default/lib/python2.6/site-packages

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
