Great! I'm glad something is working.

Hmm, that's odd. That directory is probably owned by root, so did you  
'sudo make install'? Or perhaps the directory doesn't exist? It  
should, since we got the path from CMake itself, so it should be valid.

I'm glad it works. Our plan was that setting PYTHONPATH and  
LD_LIBRARY_PATH shouldn't be needed. If you cd to WrapITK-bin/Python/  
and then run python from that directory (or just add that directory  
to the pythonpath), 'import itk' *should* take care of everything  
behind the scenes. Does this not work?

Once you get the install working, then a 'WrapITK.pth' file will be  
installed in your python site-packages folder, so 'import itk' should  
work from anywhere, with absolutely nothing added to the pythonpath.

Thanks for your helpful bug reports!
