configuration issue on mac 10.8 (taglib and yaml not found) about essentia HOT 6 CLOSED

Did you install the dependencies as instructed in the documentation?

brew install libyaml fftw ffmpeg libsamplerate libtag

from essentia.

I have macports and was having issue running it via brew. I manually installed taglib and yaml via macport and luckily got essentia compiled. But now I'm having trouble importing essentia in python, should i close this issue and post the following in a new post?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ImportError: No module named essentia

from essentia.

in addition to the unit test examples, is there other python examples using essentia? thanks

from essentia.

that means python is not finding essentia, did you (as instructed in the documentation) run

./waf install

?
If you have, you should check to see if essentia is in your python path and if not then add it.
There's a python tutorial here: http://essentia.upf.edu/documentation/python_tutorial.html

Again, I'd recommend going through the documentation. Closing this issue as the original problem was solved. If the problem persists please open a separate issue.

Thanks. I did went through all the installation instructions.
./waf run_tests is okay
but ./waf run_python_tests showed the same thing:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test/src/unittest/all_tests.py", line 27, in
import essentia
ImportError: No module named essentia
'run_python_tests' finished successfully (0.270s)

I tried to add essentia to my python path by
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/<path_to_essentia_modules>
but it didn't solve the issue, any other pointer?

from essentia.

The simplest test would be to run from python:
import essentia
If it works, python tests should work as well.
