Hi, Kevin. Yes. that looks like an interesting error message which might have been caused because Galaxy currently requires a version of Python such as 2.7.8 (2.6+ will work fine) but it will not run under the newest Python v3 releases (eg Python 3.4.1) (You may also have encountered a bug in that error detection code making the error message a little confusing) Which version of Python did you install into the VM? You can check with
python --version A preconfigured VM used for some recent Galaxy training day workshops might be worth trying - https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/TrainingDay/VMs ? I hope this helps - and yes, this email list is a good place to ask questions about installation.
