I wouldn't use the RPM!  There should be another way to install this,
but I'm not too familiar with the Mac OS X Python packages.  It may be
called libpython2.4_devel*, lib64python2.5_devel*, or something like
that.

Sparky ships with its own copy of python.  But this is unlikely to
match the Python version you get when typing 'python'.  The compiled
modules may be broken if you use the Sparky python.h file.

This file will only exist on your system if you install the
development libraries, which are usually separate.  Does anyone else
on this list use Mac OS X and know what the name of the development
package is that needs to be installed?

This machine is missing the development libraries.  This file is the
Sparky distributed python version.

The last line is the correct location for the library files.  This
machine has the development libraries installed and should compile
relax.    Sorry, but I don't think I can help in locating what needs
to be installed.  However I do know that others have managed to
compile the sources on Mac OS X.  For example Jack Howarth "howarth
att bromo dot msbb dot uc dot edu" when creating the Fink packages
(https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-users/2008-08/msg00004.html).  I
think Douglas Kojetin "douglas dot kojetin att gmail dot com" has also
used relax on a Mac.  If you do find out what the package is, could
you send a description to this mailing list for future reference
(https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-users/).

Cheers,

Edward
