Another note: I was wrong, if I easy_install the egg without the -macosx from scratch, it fails with:

Can you test on PPC? I recently had a problem with a wxPython extension -- it build Universal, but only worked on Intel. It turns out that the wxPython binaries were compiled differently on PPC and Intel -- using an older version of gcc on PPC (for 10.3 compatibility maybe?). Anyway, it was a mess, but we fixed it by compiling the extension separately with a bunch of different flags, then lipo-ing the two binaries together. Could anything funky like that be going on here? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
