python API installation

I had this error too, even after adding the libraries code as suggested above to gensetup.py.sh. The other thing I was missing, I think: I didn't run make clean, so the old incorrect files were messing me up.

In other words, the whole process is:

$ make clean
$ make
$ make S4_pyext
$ sudo python setup.py install

I think you really need all four steps, but I was often stupidly skipping the first and/or last. Once I figured that out, I could fix the error.

In the genstup.py.sh file add the libraries needed.
file: gensetup.py.sh:16
#Code

libraries = [
    'S4',
    'stdc++',
    'lapack',
    'blas',
    'gfortran',
    'fftw3' #Optional if you have it in the Makefile
],

If you have the libraries located out of your path modified also the library_dirs variable

I tried that. It still gives the same error.

I modified the Makefile and the gensetup.py.sh to automatically take into account the optional libraries in the Makefile on this fork, seems to work pretty nice. Going to as for a PR
