Further, it appears more things are missing from the pip install:

>>> import skimage
>>> print skimage.__version__
0.11dev

>>> from skimage.feature import blob_dog, blob_log, blob_doh
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "skimage/feature/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from ._daisy import daisy
  File "skimage/feature/_daisy.py", line 4, in <module>
    from .. import img_as_float, draw
  File "skimage/draw/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .draw import circle, ellipse, set_color
  File "skimage/draw/draw.py", line 3, in <module>
    from ._draw import _coords_inside_image
ImportError: No module named _draw

This isn't particularly neat; it appears the dependencies aren't being fulfilled, or that the binaries available from pip are incomplete (the version 0.11dev raises suspicion).  If I attempt to download the source and build, I get the following error:

clang: geometry.c
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'geometry.c'

Which again implies something is missing, either from the dependencies or the source distribution.  I can't find mention of a 'geometry' library that would fix this...

Hi,

I'm trying to install skimage, and having installed the dependencies (from requirements.txt in the source release), and then using pip to install skimage itself, I am having problems importing the transform library:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Oct 11 2012, 20:14:37) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-418.0.60)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import skimage.data
>>> import skimage.transform
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "skimage/transform/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from ._hough_transform import (hough_ellipse, hough_line,
ImportError: No module named _hough_transform

This is on Mac OSX 10.8.4 with Python 2.7.2.  Is this an external library that needs installing from somewhere else?  I have already had to install tifffile separately to get skimage.data working (perhaps should be added to requirements.txt?).  I've tried a variety of approaches, but haven't had any success.

Any and all advice welcome!

Yours,
James.
