I am trying to install MIT's meep from source on my macOS following this recommended procedure: install meep from source on macOs
After the final step, I ran "make check" to ensure that everything went well. However, the following error is shown for python:

What could be the possible cause? Also, I have tried to install the same using:
pip install meep
But some attributes in meep are shown as missing. So, could these errors possibly have some correlation?

I looked into some of the log files, and this is one of the errors:

Others follow a similar pattern. In one, it showed the module h5py did not exist, but it does. I installed all python modules using pip, so I'm guessing path mustn't be the issue, but that might explain it.
