This problem may occur when older versions of python are used to run 
./setup.

Two ways to work around this:
(1) Use a more up to date version of python.

(2) Change line 212 in bin/linkFiles.py to

             if not os.path.exists(link) and  os.path.islink(link) and os.path.lexists(link):

i.e., change the order of the 2nd and 3rd test on that line.
