This has happened several times on 2 of my machines. Installing with the install_ script and it continues for 10-15 minutes, having downloaded the tars and starting to compile. Suddenly without any warning the terminal just vanishes. When I bring it back up and restart, installation resumes but vanishes again after a few seconds. Installation completed fine on my 3rd machine -- within minutes of the problem on the other 2. Network connections on my end are okay. One of the logs did say something about "failure to retreive" something just before the terminal vanished.
-Thanks.
Hi Robyn,
That is odd. I've never seen it before with yt, but it kind of reminds me of this old issue of remote windows shutting down if there's something wrong with the Xauth. When you say the terminal disappears, do you mean that a local xterm disappeared, or that an xterm you opened through an ssh-tunneled X11 disappeared, or something else? If it's a window opened over ssh+X11, can you try with supplying -Y to the ssh command?
Do you have the last couple lines of the yt_install.log file? Maybe if there's something funny going on with, say, one of the components trying to open a window and getting killed by the X session or something? Are you installing wxPython? If so, maybe try after turning that off?
Best,
Matt

Thanks for the suggestions Matt.
The wxPython switch is set to 0, not to install. Here's the tail of
the log, sorry it's redundant I spoze from the several times I tried
to restart. But I DO have numpy installed via sudo apt-get install
python-numpy, so it's in the normal directory (
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy ) as well as one I did from
source ( /usr/local/...) but that I didn't think that path would be
searched.
I also already installed gtk+-2.12.12 for wxPython (also separately
installed), both by hand successfully. These are in "safe" paths so
as not to confuse the X11, gdm and gnome stuff throughout.
I had wondered it might be a server problem, momentary glitch...

Hi Robyn,
This is a puzzle. My guess is that it's not finding numpy because numpy is inside a different Python site-packages directory. It might be worthwhile to skip all of the install script and try installing all the dependencies -- specifically, hdf5, numpy, python2.6, matplotlib -- from apt-get. Those are the only packages I think you'll need. If you're on Ubuntu 9 or higher, I think they should be in the standard repositories. If you do succeed with this, and you're up for it, we'd love to have a PPA we can distribute ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas ) for this purpose!
Sorry that this is a hassle.
-Matt
