The error you are getting is likely caused by conflicts in your 
environment setup. First, make sure you are using the bash shell.

echo $SHELL

The output should be "/bin/bash". If the output is not /bin/bash, then 
simply startup a bash shell before running "source setup.sh" by typing 
"bash". If you are using the bash shell, then please try the following 
from the top-level pylith directory (where setup.sh) is:

unset PYTHONPATH
unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
source setup.sh
cd src/pylith/examples/twocells/twotri3
pylith axialdisp.cfg
