I've tried asking this on the numpy list (a few times), but unfortunately no response. Since the error *appears* to be inside distutils, I thought maybe someone here would recognize it.
No, it's not a problem in distutils. Please go back to the numpy list where I will respond to your message.
Actually it is a problem in disutils, one that is AFAIK fixed in 2.4.4c1 (and the same patch is in the 2.5 branch and on the trunk). What happens is that the binary release of Python for OSX is built as a universal binary and uses compiler flags that the compiler toolchain on OSX 10.3.9 doesn't understand. Distutils tries to remove those flags on 10.3.9, but I forgot a number of settings that need to be cleaned up. Ronald
