[yt-users] yt installaton failing

[Agarwal, Shankar]

Hi Nathan,

Yes, I can open python :

shankar-MacBook-Pro:yt hitu$ yt-i386/bin/python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Jul  5 2012, 12:32:35)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

This is a Mac OS X - 10.6.8 (intel core 2 Duo)

Let me know if this helps.
Shankar

Hi Agarwal,

Can you give us a little bit more detail on your setup - i.e. OS X version, intel or powerPC, and any other information that may be important.

The error you're seeing can happen when python is built on a 64 bit platform but tries to link against 32 bit libraries.  Can you try opening the python that install script built (it should be in $YT_DEST/bin/python2.7) typing 'import pyexpat'?.

I've never seen this error before so apologies for not having a quick solution.

Cheers,

Hi,

While trying to install yt on mac, it quits after a while:

Installing BZLIB
Installing ZLIB

Installing SQLite3
Installing Python.  This may take a while, but don't worry.  YT loves you.
Installing Mercurial.
Installing mercurial-2.0 (arguments: 'mercurial-2.0')

Failure.  Check /Users/hitu/Documents/yt/yt-i386/yt_install.log.



I checked yt_install.log :

from pyexpat import *
ImportError: No module named pyexpat
Something went wrong during the installation.
See the error message above.
install_script.sh: line 499: /Users/hitu/Documents/yt/yt-i386/bin/easy_install-2.7: No such file or directory


Please let me know how to proceed.
Thanks
Shankar
