I'm looking to start a Machine Learning project, and I attempted to install PyML (on Mac OS X 10.6.8). In doing so I received the following error while running python setup.py build. 

PyML/containers/ext/SparseDataSet_wrap.cpp: At global scope:
PyML/containers/ext/SparseDataSet_wrap.cpp:17658: fatal error: error writing to -: Broken pipe
compilation terminated.
cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wstrict-prototypes" is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++

error: command 'gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 1

I followed the following tutorial for the install process: http://pyml.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html

Any suggestions on what might be causing it and how to fix it? Thanks.

  • Do you have the pre-requisites installed, such as numpy? – Sologoub Dec 16 '11 at 02:21
  • NumPy is installed. I also manually installed SWIG and SIP4 (which is the only suggestions I could find to fix ANY error related to PyML builds). – paradox870 Dec 16 '11 at 08:59
  • the only other thing I can think of is need to run it as "sudo python setup.py build". I'll try to install it and let you know if I get the same issue. – Sologoub Dec 16 '11 at 16:25
  • which version of python are you using? I am encountering the same issue with 2.7.2 ... – Sam Joseph May 23 '12 at 14:50

I also had precisely the same problem using PyML on Ubuntu.

Installing the Python development package (python2.x-dev) resolved the issue. You need to install those Python development headers, installing XCode should also install the headers on Mac.

They are usually located in "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/"
