I'm surprised that you've built other Python extension modules because numpy does not add these flags; Python does. Python extensions should be built with the same compiler that Python itself was built with. If you are using the binary distribution from www.python.org, you should use Apple's gcc, not a different one. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
