I don't think the permissions problem really matters, it just means you
don't write permissions in /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages, which is
normal.  What I think matters is "no matching architecture in universal
wrapper". Hmmm. I wonder if you and Michael have the same versions of OS X?
And why is dlopen looking for a universal library? One would hope that
distutils would have taken care of that.

Out of curiosity, where are the 32/64 bit libraries normally put? Do you
have a /usr/local/lib32 or a /usr/local/lib64? What does

file /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/multiarray.so

do?
