Once IMP is installed, you should be able to run a Python interpreter 
("python" from a command line) and type "import IMP". If this doesn't 
work, then the Python modules must have been installed somewhere that 
isn't in the Python path.

What did you try? You have two options: either you change the Python 
path to match the location the IMP Python extensions were installed in 
(set the PYTHONPATH environment variable) or you change the IMP 
installation location (set the pythondir scons variable) so that it puts 
Python extensions in a standard location ("import sys; print sys.path" 
from a Python interpreter).

Note that MultiFit is currently available in binary form only, and only 
supported in combination with the binary downloads of IMP. So it may not 
work on non-RedHat/non-Mac systems.
