that's a message from the maxent package, and a two-second look
at the sources indicate that this message means that the cmaxent
module cannot be imported.

that's not necessarily the same thing as not being found.

what happens if you import cmaxint by hand?

have you built the C++ extensions?

what does the maxent test script say about your installation?
