That will work if the error is about a missing package.

Jeff: it just needs to be added to the install script.  Can you do it?

Genius!  Thanks for all the help and so fast!  A small aside:  is it A-OK to just pip install "whatever_was_missing_in_yt_error_message" or is that opening me up to lots of possible problems?

$ pip install jinja2

Note to Matt/Nathan and the yt install team: I *just* helped someone else who installed yt from the install script and *also* didn't get jinja2, which precludes ipy operation.

Hi,

OK, so I deleted the IPython folder, then uninstalled, then installed, and now these are my error messages:

Hi Stephanie,

It shouldn't matter.  Can you try completely removing the IPython folder in /u/stonnes/Installs/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.7/site-packages/, then `pip uninstall ipython`, then `pip install ipython` one more time.

IPython no longer imports from IPython.frontend in recent releases of IPython, so you still have some old files sticking around.

I was able to uninstall it twice, then install ipython, but unfortunately got the same error message.  Does it matter what folder I am in when I type in pip install ipython?  right now I have "activated" yt, but am in a random folder...
