I have not seen that error before, but that commit is related to environment variable settings that were causing the dashboards to fail. They really should only affect the tests (looking at git diff cc5812e..c8b0d2d).

1. What platform are you running on?

2. You said "the project doesn't build with master". Is the above a compilation error? If so, what target was building?

3. Are you able to run a python interpreter with the same environment as your project's executable and try "import smtk" with a new SMTK? Is it a problem loading the library or does the library get loaded properly? Can you add ${CMB_SUPERBUILD_DIR}/install/lib/python2.7/site-packages to your PYTHONPATH and see if "import shiboken" runs properly (without first importing smtk)?
