perfect - thanks

next problem I ran into was during the "building 'kiva.agg._kiva' extension"
phase:

ld -shared -expect_unresolved * build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/_kiva.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_rendering_buffer.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_image_transform.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_affine_matrix.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_scanline_u8.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_gsv_text.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_arrowhead.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_arc.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_gen_smooth_poly1.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_gen_stroke.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_curves.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_gen_markers_term.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_sqrt_tables.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_gen_clip_polygon.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_rasterizer.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_path_storage.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_bspline.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_gen_dash.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/agg_rounded_rect.o build/temp.osf1-V5.1-alpha-2.2/weav

thanks again - I can usually figure out build problems like these myself,
but I'm finding the SciPy build process to be rather... complex...

thx...
