      Hi,
I'm trying to install tools from the main toolshed, but I keep getting the same error regardless of the tool that I'm installing

I've just installed Galaxy locally for the first time on a Mac OS 10.9.3. The only changes I've made to the universe_wsg.ini file are:
setting host=0.0.0.0 (The error also occurred with host=127.0.0.1?)
specifying a full path for Tool_depenendency_dir
giving myself administrator privileges with admin_users=myemail
any ideas?
