I am wondering if anyone has installed ipython notebook on mac OSX?

Currently I am able to run it in the terminal note but as soon as I type in the notebook version, there are problems encountered in running it.

Below is the error I have gotten:

Greatly appreciated if someone could help me?

As noted here, the workaround for the "unknown locale: UTF-8" issue to add:

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 

to your to your ~/.bash_profile.

thanks for the info but I have found out the problems a few weeks ago and have forgotten to post it here....

It is just that for Mac installation, it is pretty tricky and hence while installing, instead of typing in: easy_install ipython, users have to specify the python version. Thus, I will need to type in easy_install ipython2.7

After which all is fine and working great!
