[pymvpa] problem testing out 0.5.0

Hi,

I have 0.4.3 working fine on my system, and I wanted to try out 0.5. I
followed Yaroslav's advice to the list and cloned using git, ran make
(seemed to go fine), and exported the path. In the same terminal session,
starting python and running 'import mvpa' works, and 'print
mvpa.__version__' gives us '0.5.0.dev'. However, the command:

>>> from mvpa.suite import *
/home/chester/pymvpa/mvpa/base/verbosity.py:19: DeprecationWarning: the sets
module is deprecated
  from sets import Set
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/chester/pymvpa/mvpa/suite.py", line 53, in <module>
    if externals.exists('lars'):
  File "/home/chester/pymvpa/mvpa/base/externals.py", line 458, in exists
    exec _KNOWN[dep]
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
rpy.RPy_RException: Error in function (package, help, pos = 2, lib.loc =
NULL, character.only = FALSE,  :
  there is no package called 'lars'

Below is also the output of mvpa.wtf(). Thanks in advance for any guidance
on what I'm missing here. Sorry if it's something silly.

>>> import mvpa
>>> mvpa.wtf()
