[yt-users] error installing mecurial during yt install

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Brendan,

Sorry you're having trouble!  My guess is that there is some issue
with the way Python and hg are being compiled; it almost looks to me
like one was compiled without relocatable symbols, which is odd as I
thought Python did not do that by default.

You can use the system hg by turning INST_HG to 0 in the
install_script.  This will likely result in not being able to execute
"yt update" but that can be worked around.

Let me know if that works,

Matt
