Installing virtualenvwrapper on mac osx 10.7.3
Let me start by saying that I'm new to programming, mac osx and bash.
I am having a very difficult time getting a virtual setup on my Mac OS X 10.7.3. This is definitely a path settings issue, but I'm just having trouble getting it to work.
Setting up virtualenvwrapper in .bashrc
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.Apps
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
Some terminal outputs:
which easy_install
/usr/bin/easy_install
python -V
Python 2.7.1
When I run "source .bashrc" in terminal, I get no output.
When I run mkvirtualenv in terminal, I get:
Error [Errno 2] No such file or directory while executing command install_name_tool -change /System/Library/Fram.../Versions/2.7/Python @executable_path/../.Python 1/bin/python
Could not call install_name_tool -- you must have Apple development tools installed

You probably just need to install XCode . It should be a free (if large) download / install from the App Store.
In the future, I highly recommend using a package manager and pip (instead of easy_install) for python development on OS X. My preferred package manager is Homebrew , but MacPorts and Fink are good too. Among other things, pip allows you to remove files that easy_install cannot simply do.
