[pymvpa] Mac OS X installation issues

[Matthias Ekman]

Hi,

may be you could help me with this issue.

Our admin tried to install PyMVPA via MacPorts as described here:
http://www.pymvpa.org/installation.html#install-macos

The Steps are:
1) Install MacPorts
2) Edit .bash_profile
- works -

3) Install PyMVPA + dependencies
 > $ sudo port install py25-pymvpa +scipy +pynifti +hcluster +libsvm
 > +matplotlib +pywavelet

$ sudo port install python_select
$ sudo python_select python25
- doesn't work -

MacPorts can't find the packages

Sorry for asking, but are you sure, that these 3 steps are sufficient?

James Kyle mentioned on this list, that it is also required to add the 
following lines to /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf:

 >> rsync://www.ccn.ucla.edu/release/ports/

and do

 >> $ sudo port sync

Is this step not required anymore? Because it is not mentioned in the 
docs. But pymvpa is not listed on the MacPorts port list:

Thanks in advance I really appreciate your help,
Matthias
