Hi all,

I'm having trouble with running run_swarm.py with rec-center-hourly.csv.
I'm using OS X 10.10 and Homebrew python.
I installed nupic from source code and it seemed successful (after I fixed
the setup.py by adding some options to commonLinkFlags as suggested here
<https://github.com/numenta/nupic/issues/1813>.)
However, I keep getting "jobInfo.results: None" error when I run
run_swarm.py.

jobInfo.results:  None

EXCEPTION:  expected string or buffer

TypeError: expected string or buffer
-----------------

It seems to be the same error as this
https://github.com/numenta/nupic/issues/1947 but the solution provided here
("specifying an absolute path to the sine.csv in your search_def.json")
didn't work.

I tried export $NTA_DATA_PATH = "path/to/data/file" as suggested here
https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki/Running-Swarms#the-data-file but it
didn't work either.

I thought there might be some file formatting issue in search_def.json
and rec-center-hourly.csv, but it seems fine too.

I initially started with anaconda python and was getting the same error.
After I saw some comments about anaconda python issue with nupic on
numenta/nupic/issues, I uninstalled anaconda and used Homebrew python
instead.
(I tried to install on the system's python, but I got an error regarding
with pycapnp (failed with error code 1 in
/private/tmp/pip-build-bWmOt2/pycapnp and fatal error: 'initializer_list'
file not found) while doing pip install -r requirements.txt, and I couldn't
resolve the issue, so I came back to Homebrew python environment.)


For your information, when I tried NuPIC Geospatial Tracking app, after I
ran ./run.py route.csv (this csv file is from the route simulator), I got a
segmentation fault. It seems that the error occurred when NuPIC runs on
preprocessed_data.csv, which might be related to the cause of the above
swarming error.

./run.py route.csv -v gave the following results.

I would be really appreciated if you could provide any advice on this.

Best,
