[CIG-SHORT] Pylith Install Error

[Brad Aagaard]

As Matt noted, we need the config.log from the configure of nemesis to 
know for sure what is going wrong.

I can say that there is a build issue with merlin (one of the Python 
packages that we use) and Python version 2.7 and later. Merlin is 
installed during "downloading missing Python dependencies". If merlin is 
already installed, then an infinite loop can be encountered when merlin 
tries to get installed again. The remedy is to remove all merlin related 
files (*merlin*) from the installation directory ($PREFIX) and then 
continue the installation from where things go wrong.

Regards,
Brad
