Hi all, I am trying to install yt using pip in an anaconda environment I just setup. I am running into an issue with freetype. I installed freetype from this location: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype and I created the freetype.cfg file as shown in the example. Yet, installing with pip produces the same error that it cannot read the FTYPE location from freetype.cfg . Thanks, Alex Install Log : Downloading/unpacking yt Downloading yt-2.6.1.tar.gz (2.3MB): 2.3MB downloaded Running setup.py (path:/global/scratch2/sd/bogert/pip_build_bogert/yt/setup.py) egg_info for package yt non-existing path in 'yt/utilities/spatial': 'tests' PNG_LOCATION: PNG found via ctypes in: /usr/include, /usr/lib64 Reading FTYPE location from freetype.cfg failed.

Hi Alex
What you're trying to do likely won't work for yt 2.x.
It will work for 3.0 but we haven't uploaded that to PyPI yet. You should
be able to 'python setup.py install' 3.0 from a checkout of the mercurial
repo.
If you need to install yt 2.x inside conda, you should be able to install
it via 'conda install yt'. Continuum Analytics kindly builds yt for us and
hosts a build on their anaconda distribution servers.
Hope that helps,
Nathan
