[Pythonmac-SIG] [Numpy-discussion] Mac OSX 4-way universal Re: python 2.6 trunk

[Chris Kees]

The 4-way universal install of numpy-1.1.1 is working now with the Python
2.6b2+ (trunk:65678), and  all the tests pass (running as i386 and x86_64 at
least). Unfortunately, I didn't find exactly what  was  causing it. I just
erased /Library/Frameworks/Python64.framework and rebuilt the 4-way
universal python and numpy module again because I had noticed that  the
numpy build directory kept coming up with this structure:

%ls build
lib.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6        scripts.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6
src.macosx-10.3-i386-2.6        temp.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6

Apparently something in my python framework was leftover from a previous
install and causing the src.macosx-10.3-i386-2.6 to get built, which seems
to be related to distutils deciding that I was cross-compiling. Anyway,
thanks  for the help and sorry for the trouble. I guess one should always
erase the python framework before re-installing it? Should I be running an
uninstall script instead  of just erasing it?
