[Pkg-exppsy-pynifti] installation problem

[Scott Gorlin]

This may or may not be related... I just upgraded to Ubuntu Jaunty and 
found that the packaged version would not install due to a dependency 
issue with libnifti.  i downloaded the git repo and similarly could not 
run setup.py build (i don't recall the exact error message, but it was 
related to incompatible versions of nifticlib or something).  Even 
though nifticlib was already installed on my computer I followed the 
instructions to build it from the pynifti source (make, then sudo python 
setup.py install) and this worked flawlessly.

I'm not sure why I had the dependency issue - I just tried on another 
computer (my home computer with no nifti stuff) and it had no issues 
with the packages, so i'm assuming I had an old version of something on 
my work computer.

Also I type 'python setup.py build' and 'sudo python ... install' to build the file, but when I fire up python and 'import nifti', the error message below appears:
