Compile error on macOS on travis ci about gamera HOT 2 CLOSED

It's failing because pip is trying to install python packages into the system python distribution, for which it does not have permission to change.

A common workaround for this and to better control the environment is to install and build into either a virtual environment or a conda environment. Check the .travis.yml of ,e.g, astropy, gammapy, naima, to see how to do this. I imagine you could also override this by running pip with sudo.

It's not failing on linux because pip is not being used, but it would probably fail in the same way as the osx builds.

Hey, thanks a lot!

For now, I just added a 'sudo' and it works. I think I will also leave it like that because I think Mac users know how to install stuff ;)

Cheers,
Joachim
