Intel® Distribution for Python* can become unstable and potentially crash because of the following:
Installing in OS X*:
- When trying to install, the message “intelpythonXX-2017.0.007.app is damage and can’t be opened” will be displayed.
Solution: Execute the following command and run the application again:xattr –rc <path_to_intelpythonXX-2017.0.0.07.app>
- When trying to install, the message “gettext is not installed”. In order to use Intel® Distribution for Python* X.X, you must have gettext installed.
Solution:- If you have not installed, proceed to install it.
- Open a terminal and add to your PATH the directory where you installed gettex
- From the same terminal window run:
open –a intelpythonXX-2017.0.007.app
Conda package manager for Linux 2.7.11:
- Trying to install or update a package using conda will show a list of packages incompatibilities.
- After installing the distribution run the following command:
conda update –y conda intelpython
PYTHONPATH should be cleared before installation (set PYTHONPATH=) on Windows
- Reference the Installation section to avoid PYTHONPATH-related issues
Intel® Distribution for Python should work with most Mac OS version
- Officially supports Yosemite (OS X 10.10)
- PyDAAL on Mac not yet supported on El Capitan (OS X 10.11)
Python tk interface (Tkinter module) requires Xquarts 2.7.7 on Mac
- If installation differs from default location, user may need to create symlink to /opt/X11
Python gdbm module requires 1.11 on Mac
- If installation differs from default location, user may need to create symlink to /usr/local/lib/gdbm.4.dylib
Python 3 requires gettext 0.19.5.1 on Mac
- Install gettext via Homebrew or MacPort
- Python will look for /usr/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib or /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib
- User may need to add symlink to this location if Homebrew or MacPorts destination is not default
