I have problems building pywt from source on Ubuntu.

When I run python setup.py build, I get the following error:

running build
running build_py
running build_ext
Cython is not installed. Using compiled file: src/_pywt.pyx
building 'pywt._pywt' extension
creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7

gcc: error: src/_pywt.c: No such file or directory
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 4

When I run cython --version I get the following output:

  • Did you know that `pywt` is already available as an [Ubuntu package](http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/python-pywt)? – MattDMo Jan 21 '15 at 16:54

pywt can be installed as an Ubuntu package using apt-get:

sudo apt-get install python-pywt
