[scikit-image] Fw: Re: Compilation Problems

[James Board]

I made some progress.  I tried this command in the cloned version of scikit-image and it got fairly deep into the compilation process:

python setup.py install --prefix ~/SCIKIT

However, it ultimately failed with these error messages:

Processing dependencies for scikit-image==0.13.dev0

What is the cause of this?
