I have an issue installing the package

[annecvdw]

I have clone the repository.
When I run pip install infotheory I get the following errors:

Collecting infotheory

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I do have BuildTools downloaded on my computer.
Is there anythin I am missing?

[xinhuayu]

changing external module: "infotheory" to "InfoTools" in the setup.py to match the actual class "InfoTools" in CPP and Header files. This seems to fix the compiling problem

Getting the same error as @annecvdw; @xinhuayu's fix doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else encountered this problem as well?
