Hi, Welcome to the relax users mailing list. I've seen this problem before but can't remember exactly what is causing it. We should be able to fix this though. I'm pretty sure that the suggestions on the internet of using distutils for this are out of place. I use distutils for the minfx package which is a dependency for relax 1.3.1 (it used to be part of relax 1.2.x but was spun out as its own project for other people to use). But relax doesn't use distutils, so I think these suggestions for distutils on the internet are rubbish - just trolls trying to convince innocent users that the developers of the software should use distutils rather than the currently used compilation and installation methods.
This problem has been encountered before by Douglas Kojetin "douglas dot kojetin att gmail dot com" (https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-devel/2006-01/msg00011.html). I think you'll find a solution here: https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-devel/2006-01/msg00014.html. The thread continues into the next month here: https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-devel/2006-02/msg00000.html. Don't worry about the descriptions about using 'make', we've switched everything in relax to using 'scons'. Anyway, I hope this helps. Otherwise we'll have to find another solution.
