[yt-users] Installing on an IBM Power6

Hi Andrew,

It's been a long time since most of the yt users I know have been
coerced into using AIX.  I manually managed an installation on
DataStar for about a year, but then that machine was mothballed.  My
suggestion is that you forego the install script and get in touch with
the consultants on the machine; they probably have a Python2.7
installation somewhere you can use.  I recommend then that you
identify which packages it already has, and of the following list
install only those that it doesn't:

 * h5py
 * numpy
 * matplotlib

I don't think we have any other hard dependencies.  Install these into
your local space with the option --user to setup.py install.  Good
luck.
