Installing Pylearn2 for Conda

[Frederik Ebert]

Hello,

I would like to use pylearn2 from Python 2.7.10 |Anaconda 2.3.0 (64-bit), I have a working theano (and cuda) installation.

When trying to install pylearn2 with

 python setup.py develop

I get the follwing errors:

$ python setup.py develop --user

Using gpu device 0: GeForce GT 635M

running develop

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "setup.py", line 85, in <module>

    '': ['*.cu', '*.cuh', '*.h'],

  File "/home/frederik/anaconda/lib/python2.7/distutils/cmd.py", line 105, in __getattr__

    raise AttributeError, attr

AttributeError: install_layout

When running it as root the same errors appear.

Any idea what went wrong here?

Actually it works after adding pylearn2 to the Pythonpath, but I wonder if there is a cleaner way to do this with Anaconda.
