The "cd tools; python setup.py install --python" step from the webpage does not seem to suffice in getting it up and running on my machine.

In any case, given the support status it would probably be helpful to temper this line in the <a href="http://flash.uchicago.edu/site/flashcode/user_support/tools4b/usersguide/flmake/index.html" target="_blank">manual</a>: "It is highly recommended that both
novice and advanced users adopt flmake as it enables reproducible research while
simultaneously making FLASH easier to use."
