Steve,

Thanks for the report of what worked-- I may well need to do this soon.


sudo xcode-select --switch /Developer-3.2.5

but that had no apparent effect.

Next I put a link in

/Developer -> /Developer-3.2.5

since that seemed to be the path numpy was trying to use.

Aha! I got the right include path now. So there was an SDK effect somehow.
I wonder if the 2.7.3 build on python.org used XCode 4 with a newer SDK?
Anyway... still no luck though since I was getting complaints

/usr/bin/gcc was really a link to llvm-gcc-4.2 and maybe that was a
problem, so I changed my PATH environment variable to have

/Developer-3.2.5/usr/bin before /usr/bin and voila! It works.


You'd think that was Xcode-select would be for, but what can you do?

Thanks for the hints! Now just have to remember all this atrocious stuff
whenever I need to rebuild it. ;-)

thanks,
-steve

Ahhh... I didn't realize that important bit. Thanks... I'll try to see if I
can use xcode3 on 10.8.


thanks,

Where did you get the python3.2 from? Building the 1.7.0 release works for
me under 10.8 and Xcode 4.6

both with the system-provided /usr/bin/python2.7


That makes sense, as Apple probably built it with XCode 4.6 in the first
place.


and with fink-installed versions of python2.7 and python3.2,


Again, the whole point of fink is to build everything natively.

The python3.2 was from python.org, 3.2.3 universal 32/64.


that was built with XCode 3.* -- originally on 10.6 The point of

distutils (one of them anyway) is to build extensions with the same

compiler, flags, etc as pyton itself -- that means XCode 3, 10.6 SDK

in this case.


I haven't gone to 10.8 yet -- partly for this reason! I know it's a

pain, at best, to build stuff on 10.8 (and XCode4 ) that runs on older

systems, but not sure if/how it can be done if you really need to.


I'd try the pythonmac list -- soem smart folks there (and the people

that maintain the python.org builds)
