Cannot Install Python Modules after Installing Anaconda
anaconda, pyodbc, python, python-2.7, windows
Solution
You could try to find someone who's built this package on binstar, which is the package hosting site for Anaconda.
I found https://binstar.org/dhirschfeld/pyodbc/3.0.7/files, which may work for you if you have 64-bit Windows. You can try `conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/dhirschfeld pyodbc`.
Problem
[New Note: I cannot install through binstar or anaconda. Why can't I install in python, outside of anaconda? Is there a way to get my computer to stop using the anaconda install of python when I don't luanch it specifically through the continuum launcher?] I have an install of Python 2.7 on a windows machine. I just recently installed Anaconda, in addition. I just tried to install a new module for my Python install. I opened a command prompt in an unzipped folder for a python module and ran: python setup.py install However, I experienced an error at build line: building 'pyodbc' extension The ultimate error line reads: error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 It appears to have looked for and not found several files or directories. For example, I received several (7) lines of error like: gcc.exe: error: /Wall: No such file or directory I have a wild hunch that the install of Anaconda is upsetting my PATH variables (or something), but it's just a hunch. Thanks kindly.
