Why compile yourself?

Why not put in the standard place? (/Library/Frameworks...)

Though it doesn't look that's you problem at this point anyway.

was that with the py2app install, or the macholib upgrade that you got 
that error?

As it happens. I've just wiped and re-installed my system (10.4.11, 
PPC), so I"m re-installing all this myself from scratch.

I just got:

easy_install py2app

To work fine, but trying to build an app that used to work:

stripping libwx_macud-2.8.0.dylib
stripping array.so
/usr/bin/strip: for architecture i386 object: 
/Users/cbarker/HAZMAT/SmallTools/UnitConversion/trunk/dist/Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/Converter 
malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD 
command 10 can't byte swap it)
/usr/bin/strip: for architecture i386 object: 
/Users/cbarker/HAZMAT/SmallTools/UnitConversion/trunk/dist/Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/python 
malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD 
command 11 can't byte swap it)
stripping saved 10885168 bytes (63796692 / 74681860)

which was an issue that was discussed on this list a while back, but I 
don't see the resolution.

running it with no-strip:

python setup.py py2app --no-strip

now works. I wonder what the deal is with strippping?

That's with macholib 1.1. I then ran:

$ easy_install -U macholib==dev

which installed macholib 1.2.1.dev-r23

I still get the stripping error (on array.so), though now that I test -- 
it looks like the app stll works fine, so maybe only that one lib didn't 
get stripped. With stripping, it's 39 MB, and 44MB without.

As for your error:

svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.eby-sarna.com': Connection refused

it should only use svn if you ask for a dev version, but who knows? 
Anyway, are you sure your firewall allows svn:? many block it, and yu 
may not have notices, as many SVN sites use http instead of teh svn: 
protocol.
