Question

I’m trying to install a python program called sonLib, but I’m not able to pass the unittests. I wonder why, because I think I set the PYTHONPATH correctly in my bashrc…

I tried:

1. PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/programs/sonLib
   export PYTHONPATH


2. export PYTHONPATH="home/user/programs/sonLib"

Can someone of you show me how to get it to work?

link for sonLib

Installing sonLib.

1. Place the directory containing sonLib on your python path. i.e.
   PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:FOO
   where FOO/sonLib is the path to the base directory of sonLib.
2. Compile the C code:
   In sonLib type ‘make all’ then ‘make test’ to test the installation

Linking the C libraries: all libraries built are placed in ‘sonLib/lib’

error message:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/user/programs/sonLib/externalTools'
cd cutest && make all
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/user/programs/sonLib/externalTools/cutest'
