#51695: could not use setup.py to install pyraf using the macports installation of python 2.7 ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mahajan.smriti@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: | Port: ------------------------------+-------------------------------- I have installed python 2.7 using macports and it seemed to work fine untill I had to install Pyraf. Amongst others the last bit of the installation code read: warning: manifest_maker: standard file '-c' not found The C compiler used to compile Python gcc-4.2, and which is normally used to compile C extensions, is not available. You can explicitly specify which compiler to use by setting the CC environment variable, for example: CC=gcc python setup.py <command> or if you are using MacOS X, you can try: CC=clang python setup.py <command> ---------------------------------------- Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/zt/rfcx53ks5b7_1_773_2jwpp80000gn/T/pip-build- ImCNyh/astropy Now I do have gcc installed, so I tried looking for setup.py and I think the one installed with Macports version of Python on my laptop is in /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/python /py-entrypoints/files/ but when I try running python /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/python /py-entrypoints/files/setup.py install I get running install running build running build_py creating build error: could not create 'build': Permission denied Not sure how to use setup.py to install Pyraf or for that matter other modules. I am using Python 2.7 on Mac OS X 10.9.5 -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51695> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
