thanks in advance for any help!

I'm trying to install a set of Python 2.7.5 libraries using Pip 1.5.2. I'm following the directions to install NuPIC on my mac (OS X Mavericks). Everything was going fine until I ran this line:

sudo pip install --allow-all-external --allow-unverified PIL --allow-unverified psutil -r $NUPIC/external/common/requirements.txt

I got this error:

And here's the requirements file ($NUPIC/external/common/requirements.txt):

#See http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/requirements.html for details
asteval==0.9.1
mock==1.0.1
ordereddict==1.1
PIL==1.1.7
psutil==1.0.1
pylint==0.28.0
pytest==2.4.2
pytest-cov==1.6
pytest-xdist==1.8
python-dateutil==2.1
PyYAML==3.10
unittest2==0.5.1
validictory==0.9.1
PyMySQL==0.5
DBUtils==1.1
numpy==1.7.1
tweepy==2.1

It was chugging along well for a while, so I assume it successfully installed some of the libraries and broke on one. Any ideas what's going wrong?

The "Linked" question here Error installing Python Image Library using pip on Mac OS X 10.9 answers this issue (the top up-voted answer). Basically PIL doesn't install freetype headers properly any more. You need to link the new location to /usr/include/freetype.

  • Thanks! How do I find where the file's location is? The post you linked to is talking about upgrading to freetype2, but I think I'm running freetype. Should I be altering the heading? Or the path? – Aaron Clayton-Dunn Feb 19 '14 at 19:28

fterrors.h

file was missed in your path. You can explicitely download and place this file in the appropriate directory.

You might need to install freetype.

brew install freetype
