python / HTSeq installation problem

[dariober]

Hello,

I'm trying to install the python module HTSeq (HTSeq-0.4.5p1.tar.gz downloaded from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/HTSeq) on our computer cluster (running redhat linux 64bit architecture, and python 2.6.3).

I came across the following error after 'setup.py build':

tar -xzvf HTSeq-0.4.5p1.tar.gz
cd HTSeq-0.4.5p1
python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
running build_ext

[dberaldi@frontend02 HTSeq-0.4.5p1]$

Any idea how to fix it?

Many thanks in advance!
