Compilers: ORDER OF OPERATIONS IS VERY IMPORTANT HERE...
- Step 1: Install Kenneth Reitz's GCC tools instead https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer
  - NOTE: This is supposed to install the vImage.h header, but for some reason it doesn't work, so any gcc/clang/llvm compilation line that has a header file pointing to <vImage/vImage.h> does not compile properly. This is the case with, e.g., Scipy. So, install XCode to fix that.
- Step 2: Install Apple's XCode
  - NOTE: installing Apple's XCode will overwrite the versions of clang and llvm from Kenneth Reitz's GCC tools, but at least you'll still have gcc.
Git http://git-scm.com/
- Note: you'll have to add /usr/local/git/bin to the front of your path in case your system, like mine, has an old crusty version of git installed
Homebrew http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/
- gfortran
- hdf5
Python stuff (see Python#Packages page for my general approach to installing Python packages; I install packages by hand whenever possible)
- numpy
- cython
- scipy
- dateutil
- ipython (installing instructions on the iPython page)
- nose https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nose/1.3.0
- gitpython
- h5py
- statsmodels (for pandas)
