Python problem building AudioLab on Fedora

[Niels Mayer]

I tried http://sourceforge.net/projects/soundviewer/ but got stuck trying to
install its main dependency, a python libsndfile wrapper
http://www.ar.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/members/david/softwares/audiolab/ ::

Any suggestions or help on this one? For all I know, even though I've got 67
Fedora python packages installed, this error might be happening from the one
package i'm missing.

...............................

I'm attempting to follow the instructions at
http://www.ar.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/members/david/softwares/audiolab/sphinx...

on Fedora 12 (2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64) with numpy-1.3.0-7.fc12.x86_64
and python-2.6.2-4.fc12.x86_64 installed as  standard RPM packages.

Unfortunately, I get this error:

Where line 84 is the main call in setup.py:

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

FYI, I solved the problem building and installing audiolab on fedora. It was
operator error:
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/scikits.audiolab/built
without a hitch once I installed two extra packages.

I didn't install 'numpy-f2py-1.3.0-7.fc12.x86_64' and only had
'numpy-f2py-1.3.0-7.fc12.x86_64' installed. Unfortunately, the error
message wasn't exactly helpful until I realized numpy was only
half-installed.

File "setup.py", line 32, in <module>

from numpy.distutils.core import setup

ImportError: No module named distutils.core


I finally realized it was dying, crypically, inside numpy itself (bug,
IMHO). Once that hurdle was cleared, it was obvious only 'sndfile' binary
package was installed, so I also
installed libsndfile-devel-1.0.20-3.fc12.x86_64. With that all in-place,
just follow
http://www.ar.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/members/david/softwares/audiolab/sphinx...
 to
compile and build your own AudioLab on Fedora 12. (next, trying it out,
looks very interesting!!)

http://nielsmayer.com/audiolab-README-NPM.txt contains a log of my travails
(if anybody sees additional things wrong, please let me know...)
