Fonts not installed at the right location on Mac OSX

[sankhesh]

I've been testing UV-CDAT on Mac OSX Yosemite (10.10.4)

UV-CDAT builds and installs fine. But when I try to run any python script, it throws a bunch of errors like:

failed Tt std Error font number not existing 1
failed Tt boldfont_tt15 Error font number not existing 1
failed Tt scatylab Error font number not existing 1
failed Tt font1 Error font number not existing 1
failed Tt font3 Error font number not existing 1
failed Tt qa Error font number not existing 1
failed Tt bigger Error font number not existing 1
failed Tt mwbotcenter Error font number not existing 1
failed Tt std Error font number not existing 1
failed Tt boldfont_tt15 Error font number not existing 1

Exception: Error font number not existing 1

In short, the issue is in install.py.in

The target_prefix in the above link points to <build>/install/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 on my Mac instead of <build>/install on my Linux box.

For those interested, the fonts are installed to <build>/install/bin by CMake/install.py.in and then to $HOME/.uvcdat by install_vcs.py. But, the fonts are never installed under <build>/install/bin on the Mac.

@sankhesh I wonder what other goodies and changes are in store with the OS X 10.11 Public Beta 4 that is currently available and will likely make it into the final release.. I know they've updated the system Python to 2.7.10, but wonder what else has changed.. Might be worth adding that to the buildbot test list (#1384)

@durack1

👍 for adding to buildbot test list

Although, I am not sure if this issue is related to a specific OS X version.

@sankhesh does that still occurs for you? All other macs seems to be ok.

[sankhesh]

Nope. I think it was homebrew messing up my path. I'll close it
