I'm having a terrible time trying to install scipy on my Mac. (I'm running Python 7.2).
When I run
$ pip install scipy
I get a huge number of errors of the form
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ranlib: archive member: build/temp.macosx-10.5-fat-2.7/libfwrappers.a(_blas_subroutine_wrappers.o) cputype (16777223) does not match previous archive members cputype (7) (all members must match)
and finally
error: Command "ranlib build/temp.macosx-10.5-fat-2.7/libfwrappers.a" failed with exit status 1
and finally
Command "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/private/tmp/pip-build-6BEG2P/scipy/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-SxKiK4-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-6BEG2P/scipy
From what I've read about similar problems online it seems to be the result of an incompatibility in some of the tools used to compile scipy (gfortran and gcc?).
What I've tried: upgrading my OS and Xcode+devtools to the latest versions (now running OSX 10.11.1 and Xcode 7.7.1), upgrading pip (now running pip 7.1.2), and installing gfortran.
I've read other questions about pip install scipy difficulties:
but their problems are slightly different. I would consider reinstalling gcc as suggested in one of the threads, but I don't know the best way to go about it.
Any help or insight into the problem would be much appreciated! I feel a bit at loose ends here since I can't even really find evidence of anyone having a similar problem, and I don't know what to do next.
