Quick thoughts without any testing: the python.org 2.6.6 uses a MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3. Make sure you set it when building all your dependent libraries, too. Make sure you use CC=gcc-4.0 (default on 10.5 but not 10.6) for all building. Don't bother trying to build on 10.3.9. In theory, you should be able to make this work. A standard python installer can be built these days on any of 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 that will work on 10.3.9 through 10.6 so there's a good chance that PIL should be able to be built similarly. No experience with matplotlib or bdist_mpkg. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
