Hi there,

I’m just starting out with yt (I’m using the stable version available on the website, https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/raw/stable/doc/install_script.sh), and I’m running into a problem when yt tries to install python after I execute bash ./install_script.sh. I have gcc version 4.9.3. Looking through the archives and google haven’t given me a solution. Additionally, my professor hasn’t seen this error before and can’t figure it out, but he thinks it might be a 10.10 specific problem that y’all could help me with.

I’ve attached my install_script and yt_install.log, which detail the specific error and which version of the install_script I’m using.

Thank you very much,
