I am running canopy 64 bit Version: 1.0.3.1262 on mac Mountain Lion. I have installed virtualenv using easy_install. But while I am trying to execute the command:
virtualenv venv --distribute
It shows the following error:
Using base prefix '/Applications/Canopy.app/appdata/canopy-1.0.3.1262.macosx-x86_64/Canopy.app/Contents'
New python executable in venv/bin/python
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/Python
Referenced from: /Users/xxx/Desktop/untitled folder 2/venv/bin/python
Reason: image not found
ERROR: The executable venv/bin/python is not functioning
ERROR: It thinks sys.prefix is u'/Users/xxx/Desktop/untitled folder 2' (should be u'/Users/xxx/Desktop/untitled folder 2/venv')
ERROR: virtualenv is not compatible with this system or executable
Have any one had similar issue and solved it? Thank you in advance for valuable advice.
Canopy uses venv instead of virtualenv
Try setting up your environment like so:
venv -s path/to/virtual_environment_dir
