Yes, that does appear to be your problem. The whole point of distutils is to make it easy to build extensions that match the Python you're using, and you're using a Universal Python. You have three choices: 1) Best (but maybe most difficult) option: learn to build your libs as Universal -- then you can contribute these packages to pythonmac.org for others to use. 2) figure how to force distutils to build only i386. I think this requires messing with the Python Makefile. There was some discussion here about this not too long ago, I think you'll find it if you search the archives. 3) Build an i386 only Python, then use that to build your extensions. If you're running only on your own machine, then there's no harm in this. I think that was covered in the previous discussion as well. > These libraries HDF5 and netCDF4 have fairly complex build scripts.

The PPC part is a waste of space for me. Yes, but space is cheap -- that's why I called option 1 the best option. -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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
