To get things working on NASA's Pleiades, I followed the directions here: http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/BuildingGeneral, as Stephen suggested, and set the target to YT's site-packages directory. Additionally, I had to include -lgfortran in the compile flags for BLAS/LAPACK to get the SciPy compilation working without throwing a library error, as I was using the gfortran compiler.

Hi Jose,

I incurred in the exactly same problem.
The way I solved it (after a lot of struggle to be precise) was to install yt on the system python instead of using the yt install script, which relates to its own python.

You can do that by
(0.remove the current yt installation and the related python)
1.downloading yt
2.going in the yt folder and build yt through the command: python ./setup.py build after ensuring that your pythonpath includes the directory .../your_system_python_path/site-packages
   It will not work the first time, because you need to satisfy all the yt dependancies, but through the errors you get you can install the dependencies one by one.
3.finally you can install yt by going in the yt directory and typing: python ./setup.py install --prefix=.../directory_where_you_want_yt
4.it is possible that yt will show errors during the use because of the fact that non vital dependencies are not satisfied, if you encounter those errors just install those dependencies when it happens.

Hope this helps, cheers,

Hi, I'm a Master student a new user of yt
I have some troubles to use scipy and yt together. When I'm usin the yt
environment yt works fine but i can't import scipy, but when I'm out of
the environment i can use it.

I really have no idea what's happening so if you could help me would be great

Best regards
Jose
