      I am using x86 on Ubuntu 16.04 and when I start retropie_setup.sh and choose "Configuration / tools" and then "129 - reicast" then I get this (while it tries to install evdev):

      Collecting evdev
        Downloading evdev-0.6.1.tar.gz
        Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
        Traceback (most recent call last):
          File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
        ImportError: No module named setuptools
      ----------------------------------------
      Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-ZsPoga/evdev/
      

      For me it was fixed after invoking

      sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
      

      So I think "python-setuptools" should just be a dependency in the script of reicast?

      Thanks & Cheers!
