[modeller_usage] Issues Installing Modeller Ubuntu 8.10

[Ocar Campos <>]

Hello:

         I have some issues installing modeller 9v7 in my linux distribution, I have a 32 bits machine, and already have installed all the libraries for the modeller to run, which would be python 2.5.2, glib package, wich my sinaptics shows version 2.8, and gcc, c++ and fortran. I installed from the .rpm package, following the instruction on the web, so far, all it's ok, but when running something like mod9v7 build_profile.py I get the following message:


  
                  Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
                  Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
                  Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]


                  'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

          I have already set home path, that would be: PYTHONHOME=/usr/bin/python.

         I also looked for some info about the issue and I got to this: http://salilab.org/archives/modeller_usage/2007/msg00126.html. Followed the instructions there but when building with python got another issue: 


           root@XXXXXX:/usr/lib/modeller9v7/src/swig# python setup.py build
           Traceback (most recent call last):
           File "setup.py", line 20, in <module>
           glib['include_dirs'],


           KeyError: 'include_dirs'

So I don't get any file to replace if it is something python related, anyone knows any solution to this? or what I am doing wrong?

Cheers.
