What's wrong?

You are the first to report this obvious breakage (just goes to show how many
people used this :).

Anyway, the release was broken: a few files were missing. Just uploaded a new
version to PyPI, so try again.

Thanks for the report,

I don't imagine there's a bug in imread.

Probably old ubuntu distro+too much things in dist-packages + usr/local

After upgrading from ubuntu 10.10 to 12.04(beta) +reinstalling had-hoc libs, succeeds to build and to import imread.
