" error: $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET mismatch: now "10.3" but "10.6" during configure" when attempting to pip install different packages?

Question

I've attempted to install different packages, such as pygame and numpy and I continually get this error:

error: $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET mismatch: now "10.3" but "10.6" during configure

I've attempted to :

$ export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6

before running the pip install but the error remains the same? I'm trying to setup pygame, any idea what I can do to fix this?

Answer 1

Had to remove everything completely and reinstall , which seemed to fix the problem.
