Conda install issues #15

Closed DamienIrving closed 9 years ago

DamienIrving commented 9 years ago

When I try and install something new from binstar using conda, it appears to install correctly (and the relevant package shows up in /anaconda/pkgs) but I get an import error when trying to use the associated library in python.

I logged an issue on their forum/mailing list https://groups.google.com/a/continuum.io/forum/#!forum/conda today.

Failing that, I might try re-installing anaconda from scratch, because on my Mac conda update conda and conda update anaconda didn't help.

I have conda installed on both my Mac and Ubuntu machine and until recently have had no problem using conda to install additional packages from Binstar. However, on both machines this week when I try and install something new using conda, it appears to install correctly but I get an import error when trying to use the associated library in python. For example, this installs successfully:

$ conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/pingucarsti cdo

$ ls /Users/damienirving/anaconda/pkgs/cdo* cdo-1.6.4-3.tar.bz2

cdo-1.6.4-3: bin info

Based on this, the package doesn't include the Python library (you should see "lib" here as well). Either the author made a mistake when building the package or it was left out intentionally.

This appears to be a problem only on my old Ubuntu desktop...
