Thanks for replying. I got a similar error. But I did set up the PYTHONPATH env variable and export it. But for some reason, it doesn't see it. This is the error I got, the complete screen output for 'make install' is also attached. </div>

Did "make install" give an error, or did it just do nothing? I have seen the<br>
following error on some systems:<br>
<br>
"This directory does not currently exist. Please create it and try again,<br>
or choose a different installation directory (using the -d or<br>
--install-dir option)."<br>
<br>
If you get the error that I quoted above, then setup.py is telling you that it<br>
needs you to specify a site-packages directory that already exists and is<br>
in the python path.<br>
<br>
If "make install" didn't give any error, then your problem is something else.<br>
