[SciPy-dev] Mac OS X and gcc 4.2

[Chris Kees]

Good Afternoon,

I'm trying to port  a set  of  finite  element  tools and linear/ 
nonlinear multilevel solvers  to the new  numpy and  scipy. I'm  
having trouble  even building the trunk of numpy and  scipy on Mac  
OS  X using a  recent build of gcc  (version 4.2.0 20060710) . Is   
it  pointless  for  me  to even try using something besides apple's  
gcc  3.3? I'm just getting simple unrecognized option errors, but I  
don't  know how to modify the configuration to get rid  of  them or   
ignore  them.  Could  anyone  give me some pointers  here?

Thanks,
Chris
