What exactly is the command you typed?

[183amir]

conda create -n anaconda --clone=/opt/anaconda

Also, I am using a packaged version available at here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/anaconda
Two patches are applied during installation but I do not think they are related with this problem.

[183amir]

Ok. I think the problem is because .la files are removed during packaging this program in Arch Linux.

[ilanschnell]

Ah, I wasn't aware that Anaconda is repackaged for Arch Linux. Removing files from Anaconda during installation would be a problem. When you install Anaconda directly (using the 64-bit Linux installer from http://continuum.io/downloads), you should not run into this problem.
