Bob's Python bindings for LIBSVM

This package contains a set of Pythonic bindings for LIBSVM.

External Software Requirements

This package requires you have LIBSVM installed on your system. If LIBSVM is installed on a standard location, this package will find it automatically. You can just skip to the installation instructions.

In case you have installed LIBSVM on a non-standard location (e.g. your home directory), then you can specify the path to the root of that installation using the environment variable BOB_PREFIX_PATH, before building and installing the package. For example, if BOB_PREFIX_PATH is set to /home/user/libsvm-3.12, then we will search for the header file svm.h in /home/user/libsvm-3.12/include and expect that the library file file is found under /home/user/libsvm-3.12/lib.

If you are installing this package via pip for example, just set the environment variable like this:

$ BOB_PREFIX_PATH=/home/user/libsvm-3.12 pip install bob.learn.libsvm

If you are installing this package via zc.buildout, we recommend you use our bob.buildout extension and set the [environ] section to define BOB_PREFIX_PATH.
