You could also try to build petsc4py independently, after building core PETSc. Just download the tarball release, export PETSC_DIR=... PETSC_ARCH=..., and then "python setup.py build". Note however that you may still run into trouble in this OS X + EPD Python combination. It's not my fault, the universal binaries thing in OS X plus the custom way EPD builds Python is hard to deal with, specially as I do not have any OS X box to do proper testing. If you cannot make it work, feel free to contact me privately and be prepared to help me a bit. -- Lisandro Dalcin --------------- CIMEC (INTEC/CONICET-UNL) Predio CONICET-Santa Fe Colectora RN 168 Km 472, Paraje El Pozo Tel: +54-342-4511594 (ext 1011) Tel/Fax: +54-342-4511169
