Hi Will,

It looks like something changed with Anaconda between 3.5 and 3.6, where it now has the @rpath in the library name. When you run the IDL_DIR/lib/bridges/setup.py command, it is supposed to modify your IDL python binaries with the Anaconda location. But it fails because it isn't expecting that "@rpath".

So, I've modified the setup.py to now handle both cases. If you want to try this, open up IDL_DIR/lib/bridges/setup.py and modify lines 92-102:

try:
cmd = ["install_name_tool", "-change", pylib, pylibpath, pythonidllibpath]
print("\n" + " ".join(cmd))
check_call(cmd)
cmd = ["install_name_tool", "-change", "@rpath/" + pylib, pylibpath, pythonidllibpath]
print("\n" + " ".join(cmd))
check_call(cmd)
cmd = ["install_name_tool", "-change", pylib, pylibpath, idlpythonlibpath]
print("\n" + " ".join(cmd))
check_call(cmd)
cmd = ["install_name_tool", "-change", "@rpath/" + pylib, pylibpath, idlpythonlibpath]
print("\n" + " ".join(cmd))
check_call(cmd)
except Exception as e:
print("\n*** install_name_tool failed.")
print("\n*** Check the paths above, or run the script as 'sudo python setup.py'.")
exit()

Then run "python setup.py install". Hopefully you should then be able to call Python from within IDL.

Let me know if this works.

Cheers,
Chris
