[SciPy-User] Building Scipy for Mac OS X 10.6

[Scott Stephens]

I'm attempting to build/install scipy from source on Mac OS X 10.6 (on
intel hardware) and am getting failures on imports.  I've compiled
python 2.6.4 as a framework; I've built both it and numpy as
x86_64-only applications, and am trying to build scipy the same way
(in other words, I'm not trying to do a multi-architecture universal
build).  I ran the numpy test suite and got one known fail and one
skipped test.

I built scipy like this:
FFLAGS="-arch x86_64 -fPIC" LDFLAGS="-Wall -arch x86_64 -undefined
dynamic_lookup" python setup.py build
python setup.py install

I also tried the build without overriding the compile and link flags,
but that leads to producing libraries that are universal 32-bit
ppc/x86, rather than the desired 64 bit x86_64.

When I do import scipy.fftpack, I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/fftpack/__init__.py",

    from basic import *
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/fftpack/basic.py",
line 13, in <module>
    import _fftpack as fftpack
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/fftpack/_fftpack.so,
2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
	/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/fftpack/_fftpack.so:

Running scipy.test() generates 19 test failures, most of which are
similar to the above.  The obvious checks for architecture and
dependencies doesn't show anything wrong:

Any ideas?  I'm pretty stumped.

Thanks,
