Alright, I guess the problem was caused because I have another version 
of straw installed in /usr/bin and /usr/lib and there is a for loop in 
find_straw_lib() that will set the library path if it finds a directory 
named straw in sys.path regardless if STRAW_IN_SOURCE_DIR has been set. 
Maybe this for loop should be skipped if STRAW_IN_SOURCE_DIR or 
STRAW_LIB has been set?
