Error when installing ITK with Python bindings

Question

I'm installing ITK 4.2.2 on OsX 10.8.4. I built it with CMake 2.8.11.1 using the Unix Makefiles generator. I'll need the python wrappings, so I selected ITK_WRAP_PYTHON. After I built it, I went to the directory containing the build files in the terminal and entered make. This all went smoothly until I got the following message:

[ 41%] Generating vcl_complex.xml

make: *** [all] Error 2

At this point I wasn't sure if it had "worked," because it had gone from 1% to 100% a number of times in a number of different processes, so I entered sudo make install. After a little while, I got the same error.

Questions

1. How do I get rid of this error?
2. Do I need to start the install over again?
3. If I do need to start over, is there a way to undo what I've done already first, to get a clean install?

Answer 1

GCC-XML (the tool used in ITK's Python wrapping) does not support the compiler with OSX 10.8 (clang). This will require support for the Clang-based GCC-XML replacement, CastXML.
