NameError: global name 'KS_MODE_32' is not defined

Prologue: Installed metame using pip install metame as recommended, ran metame and got the error.

Followed everything straight from https://github.com/keystone-engine/keystone/blob/master/docs/COMPILE-NIX.md

and now I get #5

same NameError: name 'Ks' is not defined just pipinstalling keystone, after keystone-engine then the new ImportError: ERROR: fail to load the dynamic library., that is solved with this so, you have to compile and install also shared libraries…

question is, wtf dont they say this already in the INSTALL.md? lol

I think case is closed.
