I was able to solve this problem by clone the repo and doing pip install -e '.[all]' with it.
Using Anaconda and Python 3.6.

Can you try installation without pip, using the command python setup.py install, after cloning/downloading the repository.
It did work for me, even when the pip one failed.
P.S read my comment here

Installing from repository, makes no difference to the error for me.

abhigenie92 on 30 Jun 2017

Any ideas on resolving this issue?

abhigenie92 on 1 Jul 2017

@abhigenie92 use python3.5.2 then install from this git repo solved it for me. For detailed script you can take a look here:
https://github.com/openai/mujoco-py/issues/47#issuecomment-312551946

Update 2019-09-21:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/.mujoco/mujoco200/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export MUJOCO_PY_MJPRO_PATH=$HOME/.mujoco/mujoco200/
export MUJOCO_PY_MJKEY_PATH=$HOME/.mujoco/mjkey.txt

worked. In addition I had to do

brew uninstall gcc
brew uninstall gcc@8
brew uninstall gcc@9

brew install gcc@6

Only the gcc@6 worked with this installation. OSX version is 10.14.6 (18G87)

Note this is also true on Linux. It seems that mujoco-py likes the path without the platform post-fix, where as DeepMind dm_controlsuite likes it with those post-fixes.

geyang on 3 Jul 2017

@episodeyang Just a heads up, I'm attempting to install on Ubuntu 16.04 and followed the exact commands that you linked in #47 and am still having pretty much the same issue which @abhigenie92 has!

I actually found the isssue, in ~/.mujoco/mjpro150 there was another mjpro150/ folder with mjuoco in it. So I moved the contents of ~/.mujoco/mjpro150/mjpro150 to ~/.mujoco/mjpro150/ and deleted the empty ~/.mujoco/mjpro150/mjpro150 folder and now everything works!

Hope this helps:sparkles:

I also had a ImportError: Failed to load GLFW3 shared library. error after this which was solved by sudo apt-get install libglfw3

This is most likely a mujoco or user error issue, but thought it might be helpful to share!

@Duncanswilson Thanks for the comment! Yes I saw those mistakes. A more damning mistake in my script is one that I'm trying to use mujoco1.50 with the gym. gym only work with mujoco1.3 as far as I know :joy:

geyang on 12 Jul 2017

Still suck on it.
I am assuming things now support 3.6. And gym works with mujoco150 now.

The folders seem fine for me. ( So @Duncanswilson's suggestion doesn't work for me.)

If it is matters, I also get this error:

~/.m/m/bin » ./simulate ../model/humanoid.xml                                          23:03:54

@abhigenie92 I upgraded my gcc from 7.1 to 7.2, everything seems working now.
brew upgrade gcc

I was able to solve this problem by clone the repo and doing pip install -e '.[all]' with it.
Using Anaconda and Python 3.6.

I'm trying to get this running with gcc 7.3. Have installed mujoco in the proper directory.

Running: import mujoco_py, I get the same: CompileError: command '/usr/local/bin/gcc-7' failed with exit status 1

For me it's _stdio.h that's causing problems...

In file included from /Users/tpearce/anaconda3/include/python3.6m/Python.h:25:0,
                 from /Users/tpearce/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mujoco_py/cymj.c:51:

 #include <_stdio.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

I tried linking to /secure/_stdio.h and xlocale/_stdio.h, since there's no _stdio.h file in usr/include but these just lead to different errors.

I also have gcc 8 installed, not sure if that's interfering?

Anyone else have the same problem?

@TeaPearce Were you able to fix it? I have the same issue.

@abhigenie92 Hi, I met the same error "Could not open activation key file" while the key file is actually where it should be. Have you solved this?

lutein on 10 Sep 2018

came back to this after a while. think it's now working after following this thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52509602/cant-compile-c-program-on-a-mac-after-upgrade-to-mojave

Closing this issue for now because the build system has changed since.

If any new users encounter something similar, please open a new issue! There's an issue template which helps us in getting the information we need.

Thanks~

I solved this by using

brew install llvm
brew install boost
brew install hdf5

# Add this to your .bashrc/.zshrc:
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin:$PATH"

export CC="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang"
export CXX="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++"
export CXX11="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++"
export CXX14="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++"
export CXX17="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++"
export CXX1X="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++"

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/llvm/include"

just like the troubleshooting said in README. clang is what you should use.
