Hello Galaxy-devs,

I am setting up galaxy on current os x 10.11 and encounter this trouble using galaxy to install pixman-0.32.4:

the package gets downloaded successfully from http://cairographics.org/releases/pixman-0.32.4.tar.gz

… while following the installation process in terminal I see this output during the process …presumably indicating an gcc problem

...

install_environment.STDOUT DEBUG 2015-12-01 10:44:18,096 checking build system type... x86_64-apple-darwin15.0.0

install_environment.STDOUT DEBUG 2015-12-01 10:44:18,099 checking for gcc... gcc

configure: error: in `/Users/hans/galaxy/database/tmp/tmp-toolshed-mtdKC9F_F/pixman-0.32.4':

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

See `config.log' for more details

Curiously, if I download the pixman package (same URL) outside of galaxy and run ./configure … gcc seems to work :

...

checking build system type... x86_64-apple-darwin15.0.0

checking host system type... x86_64-apple-darwin15.0.0

checking for gcc... gcc

checking whether the C compiler works… yes

...

and ./configure finishes OK.

to actually compile/make pixman properly, I have to use the ./configure —disable-mmx option to avoid another known error

(pixman-mmx.c:100:20: error: constraint 'K' expects an integer constant expression

        : "y" (__A), "K" (__N))

Perhaps someone is using galaxy on Mac OS X how this difference in gcc handling arises?

Thanks very much,

Hans Rudolph
