[yt-users] Installing matplotlib-1.4.0

Hi Shankar,

I did two things to overcome the matplotlib install problem, the first one was right after pip was installed, I paused the installation (crtl-z) and used pip to install mock and setuptools, so when matplotlib is untrared it already finds a version of mock and setuptools that works. The second step was doing what Stuart suggested, pausing the installation right after Installing matplotlib-1.4.4 is printed to screen and modify the ...requires.txt file.

Best,
Juan

Jeff,

Interesting. So the trick is to "suspend install_script.sh after it untarred matplot but before it begins installing dependencies". I gave it a few tries, but could not time the ctrl+z quite right.

Is there a way to pause install_script.sh right after it untars matplot? Using "wait xxx seconds" command? I looked into the script but can not find where it untars matplot.

By the way, I also tried manually untarring matplot and editing the matplotlib-1.4.0/lib/matplotlib.egg-info/requires.txt file. But when I run install_script.sh it overwrites the requires.txt back to the default.

So no luck.

Shankar

Please see the discussion here:

I believe this fixed your problem for another user just a few days ago. It's a bit of a strange solution, but apparently successful.

Currently "echo $PYTHONPATH" returns nothing.

I added the following lines in my .bash_profile

PYTHONPATH=/home/shankar/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages
export PYTHONPATH

Now "echo $PYTHONPATH" returns:
/home/shankar/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages

That directory has the following files:
ls /home/shankar/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages
easy-install.pth  setuptools-18.0.1-py2.6.egg  setuptools.pth


But install_script.sh fails with same message. Thanks anyway. I will ask the sys admins.

Perhaps someone else has some insight on this, but I imagine you have to change your $PYTHONPATH environment variable to point at the new setuptools installation before it hits the old one.  So if you prepend $PYTHONPATH with the installation directory (ie /home/shankar/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-18.0.1-py2.6.egg), that should work?

Hi Cameron,

Ok, I installed setuptools-18.0.1 as follows:

1. wget --no-check-certificate https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py
2. python ez_setup.py --insecure --user .

Setuptools installation ended with this message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing easy_install script to /obs/shankar/.local/bin
Installing easy_install-2.6 script to /obs/shankar/.local/bin

Installed /home/shankar/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-18.0.1-py2.6.egg
Processing dependencies for setuptools==18.0.1
Finished processing dependencies for setuptools==18.0.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, when I tried "bash install_script.sh", it quits with the same error message (mock requires setuptools>=17.1. Aborting installation).

Do I need to edit install_script.sh somewhere to tell it where setuptools-18.0.1 is?

My current directory looks like this:

pwd
/obs/shankar/codes/yt

ls
ez_setup.py  install_script.sh  setuptools-18.0.1.zip  yt-x86_64


Thanks
Shankar

As per the failure message, you could try installing setuptools with a version more recent than 17.1.  You could either install a copy of setuptools locally or request it of the sysadmins on Ada.
