That's a good point Sam. I've seen a lot of people reccomend the hpc for Mac compilers, but they don't support many Darwin specific flags, causing common build systems to break. This took way too long to figure out as a new Mac user. Much better to stick with Xcode gcc and get the AT&T research gfortran. If you really want a new version of gnu compilers (kind of amazing how far behind they are), I think macports has newer versions built to have the apple flags. - Casey On Friday, July 13, 2012, Sam Skillman wrote:
Beware -- updating gcc to anything past 4.2 will likely break the compile on a mac. You want to make sure to use the Xcode gcc, which you should be able to do by setting:
export CC=gcc-4.2 export CXX=g++-4.2
or the equivaltent command in csh if you aren't a bash person. If you had done that, then I'm not sure what the problem would be. You'll likely have to wipe the existing install for those exports to do you any good.

Hi Nathan,
This is also a mac - but I'll suggest we update gcc. Thanks!

Hi Elizabeth,
I tried running the install script on my mac laptop after your e-mail. I was able to build yt from the install script with no problems.
It would help if you could let us know a bit more about the system you're trying to build yt on. In particular, I think you'll run into issues if you're using an old version of gcc that doesn't support OpenMP. Version 4.2 or newer should work.

Hi Andrew,
We ran the install script from scratch, so I assume it would have installed the version of cython it needed?

Hi Elizabeth,
I saw errors like this when I tried to use an older version of Cython. Are you sure that you're using version 0.16?

Hi,
We've had some problems installing yt via the install script.
Initially it did not download distribute, which we did by hand. Then, it couldn't get pip, so I commented that line out and now it's died on cython with:
