I have already closed the issue once, because I thought that I had solved the problem, but when Pegah tested the installation, we figured out that still something went wrong in the linking step of the installation, because she got the error message:
<p class="gmail-m_5365814156564214415p1" style="margin-left:40px"><span style="font-family:'courier new',courier,monospace">   from mvpa2.clfs.svm import LinearNuSVMC</span></p>

Because of this problem, I deleted the PyMVPA installation and tried again from scratch. Meanwhile I have reopened the issue on github.<br>
<br>
The svm library is installed in the following location:<br>

<br>
Therefore I don't understand, why the linking step fails:<span class="gmail-"><br>

At the moment my guess is, that the linker flag should be placed before the "-o" parameter.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't have a direct suggestion here. Could you maybe post the output of:</div><div><br></div><div>    python -c 'import mvpa2; print(mvpa2.wtf())'<br></div><div><br></div><div>This /may/ help in solving the issue.</div></div></div></div>
