Unable to find c_libraries

[b2jia]

We are trying to set up storm-control in the Kosuri lab but are running into difficulty executing the emulation test (ie. python hal4000.py xml/none_config.xml). We added a .pth file to our Python path, and we believe there's no need to compile the C helper libraries since we are using a 64 bit computer. Yet, when we run the emulation test, we see the following error:

Please let us know if there are any additional details to help with this diagnosis!

You cloned storm-control into the directory C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\storm_control? That is where Python seems to be finding this package.

We cloned the repo to a different directory, namely C:\Downloads\Software\storm-control, so I wrote a .pth file that specifies this directory and put it in the site-packages directory of our conda environment (named storm_control). Should we directly clone this repo to C:\Programdata\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\storm_control instead? Sorry for the confusion!

(5) Add the storm_control directory to your Python path by placing a .pth file in 
 the python site-packages directory, e.g. venv_dir/lib/site-packages.
 An example .pth file is included as hal4000/storm_control.pth.
