Frequently Asked Questions

  • Compilation error: makes/generics.make: No such file or directory make[1]:

Set the MUSEDIR environment variable (see [[1] (http://www.science.uva.nl/sites/modesta/wiki/index.php/Developer_information#Setup_MUSE)])

  • Compilation error: Python.h: No such file or directory

The Makefile tries to infer the location of Python.h from the location of the python executable and this may not always be foolproof. In particular in your case it seems your python isn't set up in the usual way. Incorporate the direct path to your python version in {$MUSEDIR}/makes/swig.make will resolve this. Try to following: 

 $ locate Python.h
 /usr/include/python1.5/Python.h

You can temporarily solve the problem by changing the line in swig.make to: PYTHONINC=/usr/include/python1.5
