[pymvpa] ‘LinearNuSVMC’ is not defined error with smlr.py

[Jo Etzel]

Thank you for all of your previous help. I am only starting to get 
familiar with pyMVPA, so apologize if this is an obvious question.

I am running pyMVPA on Windows XP, following your installation 
instructions (Python 2.5.4, IDLE 1.2.4, NumPy, SciPy, PyNIfTI, 
matplotlib; all with binaries); I’m using the IDLE shell. I can run the 
start_easy.py and smellit.py examples, but not smlr.py. smlr.py runs 
partway, then gives the error ‘name ‘LinearNuSVMC’ is not defined’.

In the mvpa.clfs.libsvmc module I only see classes C, N, c_darray, 
ctypes_helper, debug, extend_args, os, smlrib, stepwise_regresion, and 
sys; attempting to load mvpa.clfs.libsvmc.svm gives the error ‘cannot 
import name _svmc’. (I actually want to get to a linear SVM.)

I tried installing libsvm, and I think it worked (I can ‘from svm import 
*’ in python), but the problem remains. Is this an installation or 
configuration problem?

Thank you again,
Jo
