I listed the commands I executed - just git clone and python3 setup.py build. I cannot use pip, on BW it first tries to uninstall the system-wide distribution of yt, so their Python expert suggested I try setup.py. On 1/7/19 12:24 PM, Nathan Goldbaum wrote:
Hi Nick,
This "setup.py build" thing is new to me. It's not a setup.py command we've ever supported or documented for use with yt. I wonder why the blue waters staff told you to use it.
That said, I'm not able to reproduce the failure you're seeing (python3 setup.py build runs without error after making a fresh clone of the yt repo).
What branch and changeset are you building yt from?
What were the rest of the steps in the installation instructions you were trying to follow?
I bet if you do "pip install ." inside of your checkout of the repository, things will "just work". However since I'm not able to reproduce the failure you're seeing you may run into the same issue with "pip install". If that happens answering the questions above will allow me to do additional debugging steps on my local machine.
