I am not sure where my version of gcc is from or how it was installed. I installed Xcode from the CD I got with the computer (in 2005). I will try updating it and see if everything works better. Thanks. ---- Original message ----

Hi,

I cannot seem to install numpy on my mac. Here is some relevant info:

I have the following installed on my PPC G4 powerbook:

MacOSX 10.4.10 gcc version 4.0.0 gfortran version 4.2.1 fftw version 3.1.2 MacPython version 2.5.2 Xcode version 2.0

I have the unzipped numpy directory placed in

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages

No, don't do that. Unzip it somewhere else to build.

...

I am using the following command in terminal to try to install:

python setup.py install

I am getting a ton of errors, but the first few include:

Could not locate executable f95 Could not locate executable f90 Could not locate executable f77 Could not locate executable xlf90 Could not locate executable xlf Could not locate executable ifort Could not locate executable ifc Could not locate executable g77

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0': No such file or directory

This is your main problem. Where did you get this gcc? I believe the one that comes with the Developer Tools is 4.0.1.
