Problems importing pymc3 in a mac mojave 10.14 environment

Tried some of the fixes found in other posts. None appear to be working. The dialog follows:

Theano was not properly installed. How did you install it? Did you use conda, pip or something else? Do you have clang or GCC?
My recommendation is to use conda, start a new environment from scratch, install theano and its dependencies, check that you can import theano, and then finally install pymc3.

Yeah, I second @lucianopaz. From the directories shown in the OP, we see this is in an Anaconda base env. There is an issue with Theano and the clang compiler that Anaconda includes by default. There is an open thread about this that includes other possible workarounds, but the most efficient thing is to make a dedicated env for PyMC.
