[yt-users] Matplotlib installation failure on OS X

[Chris Malone]

Just a comment:

Using the full path to the compilers (e.g. using /usr/bin/gcc instead of
gcc) will fail because of a sed command (line 329 in install_script.sh)
using the forward slash as a separator.  If the compilers are in your bath,
you might want to specify them directly by name, rather than the full
pathname.

The install script should probably be changed to use something other than
forward slash as the delimiter, at least in this case where it might get
mangled with pathnames.  Something like changing

... -e "s/CC=gcc/CC=${CC}/ ...

to

... -e "s|CC=gcc|CC=${CC}| ...
