[yt-users] Installing yt-dev on OS X 10.8.3

[Brian Crosby]

Hi everyone,

I've run into a problem installing yt-dev.  It appears to be having problems while installing matplotlib, and is failing as follows:

Installing matplotlib-1.2.0 (arguments: 'matplotlib-1.2.0')

I'm installing on OS X 10.8.3, and am now using a fresh install of Xcode tools in an earlier attempt to solve this.  I have also set the environment variables CC=gcc-4.2 and CXX=g++-4.2, as suggested by the install script.  Has anyone encountered this before, or have any suggestions for solving it?

Thanks,
Brian
