Open Microscopy Environment

When attempting to run Omero from the trunk, the web front end doesn't start. The fsclient.err and master.err log files report errors. It looks like a couple of Python modules are missing from the build.

Hi Steve.

Don't worry about the missing numpy and pyinotify. They are native libraries and so will require an extra installation step, which will be documented as we approach release of 4.1. For the moment, that only means that DropBox and OmeroTables aren't running, but that doesn't affect Web.

There does, however, seem to be a problem with Web. I've filed this under: http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/ticket/1481

Thanks for bringing our attention to it.
