Error installing pydaal

[amueller]

I've tried to install pydaal from the anaconda channel, but run into issues. This is a completely fresh conda environment.

conda install -c intel pydaal=2017.0.1.20161006

This is because pre-link scripts have the ability to change the package contents in the

environments.  Future versions of conda may deprecate and ignore pre-link scripts.

Andreas,

This error is caused by an incompatibility between conda version >=4.3.9 and our "intelpython" package version 2017.0.0. The actual failure is with the "intelpython" package's pre-link script. The pydaal package is only affected because of its dependence on "intelpython".

We removed the pre- and post-link scripts from the intelpython package version 2017.0.2, which was just promoted today, so the issue should be resolved if you attempt your install command again.

Best,
Todd

thanks, works now :)
FYI its slightly confusing if the conda package has a different name than the module.
