Hi guys, has anyone successfully compiled Scipy for Python 2.5 under Mac OS X 10.4.8? I notice that the binaries on the webpage only support up to Python 2.4 so I would like to build them. However, running "python setup.py build" I get:

I have no idea of why it sais 10.3 rather than 10.4, but perhaps this is not the OS version? I use FFTW 2.1.5 after the website recommended the 2.1 branch for performance over 3.0 and I'm going to be using FFTs a lot

Could anyone help me out? :-)

I just wanted to chime in that I have had the same problem on a PPC Mac and on an Intel Mac. My workaround with the iBook (PPC) was to compile Python 2.5 from source. I'll probably do the same on my MBP (Intel), but that's rather inconvenient. It'd make me quite happy if someone could help Nik and I. As an aside, on my MBP, I am testing (for work) the Python 2.3 that shipped with OSX 10.4. Despite the numerous warnings I've found online not to use it, I have found that numpy, scipy, and matplotlib work just fine with 2.3, but I will have to do The Readline Fix in order to make interactive sessions at the command-line usable. Thanks, Nick
