Egg Build Failed For Numpy 1.6.0

Question: Egg Build Failed For Numpy 1.6.0

5.3 years ago by

Hi, I am trying to install a local version of galaxy on my mac book (x86_64, OSx 10.8.4). I seem to be having a lot of trouble with fetching and installing specific egg dependencies. Initially pysam was giving me trouble, but once I ran scramble.py -e pysam, the problem was fixed. Now I have trouble with the numpy egg dependency. Does anyone have any idea why a egg would fail to build. I am assuming it is because I have a more recent numpy version (1.7.1) installed already. What should I do, short of uninstalling the newer version of numpy ? Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I am preferentially using the main server. But recently I have also tried to build a local Galaxy server. I also have a mac (Mac Pro OSx 10.6.8). Since I am not a specialist at all, I asked some kind of "expert" people from my institute. They told me that installing Galaxy on Mac can really be nightmare because there are some conflicts in the versions of python... This could explain the problem you are encountering with the egg dependencies. So they advised me to install an Ubuntu (12.04) operating system in a virtual machine using Virtual box. This is supposed to be much easier to install Galaxy and indeed, the installation of my local galaxy server ran fast and well. However, I don't know whether the tip is good or not, because I am now facing big problems with the virtual machine: the Ubuntu virtual machine is very unstable and often crashes while running big datas on Galaxy... The problem does not come from Galaxy, but from either Ubuntu guest system, the virtual machine or the communication with the mac host system and I haven't found out how to fix it yet. But since your version of Mac is different, you can try this solution, it might work better in your configuration. Hope that helps, Fabrice But at the moment, I have lots of problem with the OSx 10.8.4). I seem to be having a lot of trouble with fetching and installing specific egg dependencies.

Hi, Almost all of the Galaxy development team uses Macs, so it should certainly work. The problems with eggs, as you have both found, typically come with using non-standard versions of Python. Your best bet is to use the version that shipped with your version of OS X, which can be found in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework. You can ensure that this version is always used by putting it first on $PATH or setting up a virtualenv with it, e.g.: % virtualenv --python=/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Ve rsions/2.7/bin/python genv --nate
