I would recoment using macport or fink to install pandas    Install XCode from App Store  this will install 3 compilers  clang  gcc   apple   and gcc   normal   Install macports  www macports org  or fink  www finkproject org  Never use your mac python again  and install all python modules trough the fink macport and enjoy it taking care dependencies for you    Installing pandas in macports is as simple as      sudo port install py27-pandas  you usualy install macport in  opt local and fink in  sw  I would advice  though this may be bad advice  you to symlink your fink mac ports python to your system python as follows such that   usr bin python -   opt local Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 bin python2 7

You need to install newest version of xCode from appStore  It contains the compiler for C gcc  and C   g    for mac  Then you can install pandas without any problem  Use the following commands in terminal    xcode-select --install pip3 install pandas   It might take some time as it installs other packages too  Please be patient

You can install python with homebrew   brew install python   Make sure that OSX uses the correct path   which python   Then you can use the pip tool to install pandas    pip install pandas   Make sure that all dependencies are installed  I followed this tutorial  http   penandpants com 2013 04 04 install-scientific-python-on-mac-os-x    Works fine on my machine

I believe you need a sim link    ln -s gcc gcc-4 2   This should tell your terminal to call gcc-4 2 when you run   gcc

You need to install XCode AND you need to make sure you install the command line tools for XCode so you can get gcc

Not an innovative way but below two steps might save a ton of time and energy    Updating  Installing Command Line Tool  Code    This can be done by openinig XCode -  Menu -  Preference -  Components -  Command Line Tool   Removing all but Python 2 7    I did installed different instances of python at different time and removing all but 2 7 was helpful in my case  Note   You may have to install modules after doing it  So get ready with pip easy install ports   Uninstall can be done with super easy steps mentioned in following link   How to uninstall Python 2 7 on a Mac OS X 10 6 4
