[pymvpa] pymvpa installation problem... nifti not found

[tbeck at artsci.wustl.edu]

hi all

I've installed pymvpa on Mac OSX 10.6.3.  The installation went fine
initially, but when I try to import NiftiDataset I get the error:

RuntimeError: Required external 'nifti' was not found

I've installed pynifti through macports per the instructions, and I can
see the py26-pynifti directory where it's been created.  I've copied that
directory over to the directory where mvpa is installed just in case but
no cigar.

has anyone reported a similar problem with PyNifti before?

thanks for any help you can offer,
Taylor
