Aloha,
Where is an appropriate place to ask for help to install libprs500 on linux? I installed prerequisites, and the easy-install process completes, but the postinstall script fails as does running the installed commands:
Code:

I'm very familiar with linux in general, but not so much with python setuptools. It appears that there's a problem with the ctypes version, but I'm not sure which version is which or what should be done to correct it.
Running any of the installed commands results in the same error:
Code:

Any helpful advice or a link to an appropriate forum/list would be very welcome!
