Installing yt on TACC / Stampede : getaddrinfo() / ipv6 error

Hi, I have installed yt once with no problems, but now I'm trying to install it on TACC/Stampede, and I'm getting an error message during the Python 2 installation stage: Fatal: You must get working getaddrinfo() function. or you can specify "--disable-ipv6" I don't know what is getaddrinfo() and where I can get it. I know what ipv6 is, but I don't know where I should specify "--disable-ipv6" (and whether it is a good thing to do or I better get working getaddrinfo() function). If anyone got this error message and knows what to do please help. Thanks, Amit

Hi Amit, The easiest way around this is probably to use the updated version of the install script in the development branch, which uses conda to avoid compiling python: http://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/raw/yt/doc/install_script.sh -Nathan On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 7:54 AM, Amit Kashi <kashi@physics.umn.edu> wrote:
