When I run a playbook containing

`

- name: Configure instance

hosts: elastic-search-test  
user: ubuntu  
sudo: yes  
gather\_facts: true

tags:

- config
- configure  
`

I get this error message

fatal: [[ec2-54-226-176-175.compute-1.amazonaws.com](http://ec2-54-226-176-175.compute-1.amazonaws.com)] =\> imported module support code does not exist at /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/module\_utils/facts.py

Am I missing something here?

Cheers,

Cary

Sounds like you have a crossed-up installation where something was partly make installed and then you are trying to run parts of ansible from source.

Do source ./hacking/env-setup or make sure traces of a previous installation were removed or installed consistently, and you should be ok here.

I’m having the same problem… @Michael DeHaan can you specify more the ./hacking/env-setup

thanks
