Hello,

I am trying install lsst\_sims pacakges version (w\_2019\_42) insider a docker container running with Centos:7 base image. Everything works fine until the building of ‘sims\_utils-2.13.0.sims-4-g46f9fdc’. Can someone help me out? Thanks!

The error message is shown below:

Do you have a python there?

Oh, it might be that you are building from source and not binaries but you got the pytest binary so shebangtron needs to be run. Can you run shebangtron and then try the eups distrib install again? (don’t wipe things out).

Hello tim,

I got an error after running shebangtron.

```auto
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "shebangtron", line 167, in <module>
    raise RuntimeError('EUPS product install path is missing')
RuntimeError: EUPS product install path is missing

```

Any clues?

@timj I run install again, failed at sims\_utils and run shebangtron, then install again. But still fails at sim\_utils. Below is the error message.

I think I found a walk-around. Initially I was installing ‘lsst\_sims’ with tag ‘w\_2019\_42’ or ‘w\_2019\_40’, which failed me. I just tried to install using tag ‘w\_2019\_38’ and it worked! Something is off in the newest releases?

Thanks,

Something else may be wrong: you should not be using gcc 4.8.5 (we require a more recent compiler).
