I don't know what I have to do now. /usr/local/lib/libnotmuch.so.4 is already
there. I've also made
  easy_install notmuch

But if I remove the python-notmuch and libnotmuch3 packages with debian's 
uninstaller, alot doesn't start anymore:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/alot", line 19, in <module>
    from alot.init import main
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/alot/init.py", line 11, in <module>
    from alot.db.manager import DBManager

    from .globals import (

    raise ImportError("Could not find shared 'notmuch' library.")
ImportError: Could not find shared 'notmuch' library.

So my next question is how to install python-notmuch from source instead of debian's
installer.
