Re: Install guide for MACOSX

[John Morgan <johnjosephmorgan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Bart and Haden,
I'm trying to install emacspeak with mac ports.
I'm getting stuck on the installation of pysox.
The sox header file sox.h  got installed under
/opt/local/include.
When I run
sudo /opt/local/bin/pip-2.7 install pysox
the sox.h file is not found.
How do I put the include directory on my path?
I'd also like to put /opt/local/bin on my path.
Thanks again,
John
