I would prefer that we use the Python binary from www.python.org. That should work on 10.3.9+. > - how to deal with library dependencies such as fftw2.

"Official" binaries intended for distribution from scipy.org or scipy.sf.net should not be linked against FFTW or UMFPACK since they are GPLed. The real problem is the Fortran runtime. It is possible to link against the Fortran runtime libraries statically so as to avoid needing the user to also install a Fortran compiler just to run scipy. Use the gfortran compiler built for R's use (and do not use the one from hpc.sf.net): http://r.research.att.com/tools/ Basically, copy the libgfortran.a library to a separate location, say ~/staticlibs/. Then do the following: $ export LDFLAGS="-undefined dynamic_lookup -bundle -arch i386 -arch ppc -Wl,-search_paths_first" $ python setup.py config_fc --fcompiler=gnu95 --arch="-arch i386 -arch ppc" build_ext -L ~/staticlibs/ build -- 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
