This time, it doesn't even mention what the problem is, but non of the maaslin scripts from here are available. This time, the solution from #18 (ignoring dependencies) does not work.

Hi Kevin - The maaslin merge python script requires blist. Blist needs the python headers and when installed from source is compiled. It looks like when you are installing maaslin it is having issues installing blist. I added the option "--without-dependencies" to install maaslin without the one python dependency it requires (blist). When you tried ignoring dependencies ("--ignore-dependencies") it makes sense it did not resolve the error because this is not an available option. However, I am surprised brew does not show an error/warning that the option is not available. Please try the new option as it should resolve your issue. Reopen this ticket if you continue to see errors.

Thanks,
Lauren
