I just put Ubuntu 10.04 64bit on my desktop and wanted to get yt going and ran into an issue with the linux/unix install script. It gets up to matplotlib and errors out: Installation will be to /home/bob/local/yt-unknown and I'll be logging the installation in /home/bob/local/yt-unknown/yt_install.log I think that about wraps it up. If you want to continue, hit enter. If you'd rather stop, maybe think things over, even grab a sandwich, hit Ctrl-C. ======================================================================== [hit enter] Awesome! Here we go.

Hi Robert,
The end of the install log seems to indicate it can't find the freetype2 headers. Do this: apt-cache search freetype2 | grep dev and install the -dev packages. I can't recall the name -- it might be something like libfreetype2-dev or a variant on that. -Matt
That apt-cache returned: gir-repository-dev vflib3-dev afterwards the install continued but errored out when installing mercurial: Installed /home/bob/local/yt-unknown/src/yt-1.7-svn Processing dependencies for yt==1.7 Finished processing dependencies for yt==1.7 Downloading/unpacking mercurial Running setup.py egg_info for package mercurial Couldn't import standard bz2 (incomplete Python install). Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Couldn't import standard bz2 (incomplete Python install). ---------------------------------------- Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 Storing complete log in /home/bob/.pip/pip.log I then installed libbz2-dev and unfortunately it made no difference. -Robert On 08/17/2010 09:01 AM, Matthew Turk wrote:
