Failing to install mlpy on macOS 10.12 using Python 3

[Alessio Marcozzi]

Hi there,

I am trying to install using Python3 (I need to use its implementation of the Dynamic Time Warping algo.) but I can't get it to work.

The same package can be installed using Python 2.7, on the same machine, without problems, so I don't think that is an OS-related problem.

Any help is very welcome!!

$ python3 setup.py install

Sorry, I have posted this question twice by mistake.

Solved by running

python3 setup.py build_ext --include-dirs=/usr/local/include/ --rpath=/usr/local/lib/

followed by python3 setup.py install
