[yt-users] mac yt installer issues

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Cameron,

At this point, I'd recommend getting the install script from:

http://hg.enzotools.org/yt/raw-file/yt/doc/install_script.sh

so that you're on the latest development version.  I believe I've now
fixed the bzlib problem in the development tip version.

As for the second error, some light googling indicates that it may be
a conflict between GCC versions provided by Apple versus those
provided by the FSF.  Do you happen to know if the 'gcc' that comes up
in your path is /usr/bin/gcc, or rather something installed by
MacPorts or maybe from hpc.sf.net ?  It should be the one from Apple,
which I believe is in /usr/bin/gcc.  If you're pulling in
/usr/local/bin/ before /usr/bin, for instance, this could be the
reason for the problem.

I looked over the Python build options and I don't see one to
explicitly exclude what we're seeing; I've tested the script on my
laptop
right now and it worked, but I also use the Apple GCC.  (I did find an
option that may make static linking a lot easier, however.)  I suspect
that shuffling your path about will fix the issues, but it's possible
there may be another option I'm not seeing right now -- so let me know
if that works or not.
