[yt-users] Issues Installing yt

[Alex Bogert]

Hi all,

I am trying to install yt using pip in an anaconda environment I just
setup. I am running into an issue with freetype. I installed freetype from
this location:
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype and I created the
freetype.cfg file as shown in the example. Yet, installing with pip
produces the same error that it cannot read the FTYPE location from
freetype.cfg .

Thanks,
Alex
