[yt-users] installing yt on mac osx 10.6

[Cameron Hummels]

Hi Matteo,

When you run the installer, there should be a few messages that it sends
to you when it finishes.  One of those messages describes how to add yt
to your new path and pythonpath environment variables.  If you follow
these instructions, it ought to set you straight.  So go ahead and rerun
the installer (don't worry, it won't break anything, or even take very
long to run now that it is already installed), and make sure to follow
the instructions it presents you with at the end.

That may fix your second error as well, but I'm not sure.  Give it a shot.
