6447	ChimeraX Mac build fails with Anaconda installed	Tom Goddard	Tom Goddard	"With Anaconda installed on my macOS 12.3 laptop with M1 CPU in /opt/anaconda3 the ChimeraX build fails because PyPi package lxml shared library has a missing symbol _xmlFree.  The lxml package is compiled by prereqs/pips and the compile works.  Bundle builder uses it and when the first bundle addcharge is built lxml gives the missing symbol error halting the build.

Looking at prereqs/pips/pip.log revealed the compile of lxml uses /opt/anaconda3/include lxml header files!  It found them apparently because /opt/anaconda/bin was in the executable search path.  Taking the anaconda bin directory out of the search path made the build succeed.

Making this ticket just to document this problem since it took a half hour to debug it.
