Maybe I should take this to one of the Twisted or Zope lists, but this appears to be a Mac-specific issue so I thought it worth mentioning here. The problem is that Zope Interface 3.01 won't build on Mac OS 10.3 using either the stock Python 2.3 or Python 2.4.1 (error transcript at the bottom).
A Google search of the problem turned up a discussion on one of the Zope lists about this, but I didn't understand how to implement the suggested solution. One message in the thread suggests the problem is that Python was compiled under gcc 3.x and Mac OS 10.4 defaults to using gcc 4.x, and that using gcc select can fix the problem. Any thoughts on how to do that?

Here is the error transcript. A similar error happens when running setup.py install.
