I wiped everything and started over tonight, and lo and behold, I mananged to get it to work by adding a custom option to the setup.py script that in effect added -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local to the compile command. That fixed the compiler error where it couldn't find the appropriate header file at first. > It worries my a little that the OSX 10.4u SDK causes failures for libraries > in /usr/local, that > should work just fine, the SDK should only affect files in system locations > (/usr/include and > /System/Library). > > Which file couldn't be found?

I compiled and installed libevent into /usr/local. At first those headers could not be found when building gevent. It worked with the custom setup.py option that I mentioned above (--libevent /usr/local)... but I swear last night I couldn't get it to work no matter what I tried. I remember tweaking the compiler options and such but it always failed with not finding the libevent headers, or stdarg.h (weird, because that file is available everywhere??). Unfortunately it seems I cannot reproduce my initial problems, I should have saved my console logs of last night :( I still see a problem when you are not installing by hand, but with PIP or easy_install. When you are installing a package with a weird setup script like gevent, using PIP, you hit a barrier. Because I cannot tweak the setup.py script that PIP will be running (and the --install-option of PIP didn't do what the setup.py script wanted, I tried it but the setup.py didn't like it in any shape or form) I'm comfortable with developing in a unix like environment but the sysroot/sdk stuff of OS X is a bit alien to me. Am I supposed to not touch the SDK locations at all? So installing custom libraries should always be done into /usr/local and then referred to by adding explicit -I/usr/local flags to the compile command? Thanks for your time.
