Unable to build the repo on mac

[krishnaw14]

On running $ python setup.py install: I am getting the error as: Searching for pykep Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/pykep/ No local packages or working download links found for pykep error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pykep')

I was unable to find a work around this. This might be something trivial but I am new to this so I apologise in advance.

I'm having a similar issue and trying to figure out how to fix this, what version of macOS are you using @krishnaw14?

[krishnaw14]

@PerezHz I am using MacOS High Sierra- version 10.13.2

I'm also a new user and am also on macOS High Sierra (10.13.3); the way I worked around this issue was the following:

• brew install python, boost and boost-python3
• Install pykep from source, following the guidelines in the pykep docs, which you can find here
• Then, running python from the orbitdeterminator/orbitdeterminator dir I was able to do:

$ python

This is likely the result of LAPACK bug 0038, fixed in LAPACK 3.2.2 (released July 21, 2010). Falling back to 'gelss' driver.

So, things seem to be working even if python setup.py install fails. I haven't been able to figure out if this issue is related to the fact that pykep wheels don't seem to be available for macOS, or either to some version issue with Homebrew's Boost library, since cmake seems to complain about the Boost version while building pykep from source. Either way, orbitdeterminator docs state that the preferred way to run things is directly from the package source dir, without installing it. I'll keep trying to figure out what's going on. Hope this helps!

Hello guys, unfortunately, we have not encountered this problem yet due to the fact we mainly use ubuntu and windows. I don't know why this error with the pykep library occurs but I think the last solution works. The output you get is the standard output of the main.py script.
