ANTsPy: still cannot "import ants" on MacOS

Still experiencing the same issue reported in https://github.com/ANTsX/ANTsPy/issues/26 on Mac OSX. This includes pip installing using the new wheel: antspy-0.1.5-cp36-cp36m-macosx_10_7_x86_64.whl or the pip install command listed on the README.

It still looks like the installation doesn’t do the ITK/VTK checks and installs that are in the setup.py file. I’ve tried manually executing the bash scripts that are called in setup.py and set the environment variables, etc, but still get the same error.

However, installing in linux (specifically Ubuntu 16.04 in a Docker container) using the README pip install command works just fine.

python setup.py install is what I tried. Xcode 9.2, macOS 10.13.6. As a workaround, this old fork https://github.com/stnava/ANTsPy.git compiled without any problems.

I’m getting the same error as @ejolly above when I try to install antspy using method one on my mac. In particular, when I run

pip install https://github.com/ANTsX/ANTsPy/releases/download/Weekly/antspy-0.1.4a0-cp36-cp36m-macosx_10_7_x86_64.whl

import ants

I get

ImportError: dlopen(/Users/iaincarmichael/anaconda/envs/py36/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ants/lib/antiAlias.cpython-36m-darwin.so, 2): Library not loaded: libvtkRenderingOpenGL2-8.1.1.dylib

  Reason: image not found

I’m using python 3.6 on a macOS Version 10.13.4.

one other point: we also use

      -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF

ok i set that to OFF. will recompile the wheel and re-upload, then hopefully that will work.
