[SciPy-user] scipy OS X compiling on a G3

I've tried all sorts of combinations of flags and so forth to get scipy  
to compile on OS X 10.3.2, but it still won't work for me.  With  
CFLAGS="-lcc_dynamic -framework vecLib" (and I've also tried with  
-faltivec and -framework Accelerate) set and using sudo python setup.py  
install (and have also tried with the build build_ext first) for the  
CVS version, I get error messages along the lines of:

In the build.py phase:
package init file  
'/Users/jmg75/Programming/scipy/scipy_core/scipy_distutils/tests/ 
__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file)
package init file  
'/Users/jmg75/Programming/scipy/scipy_core/scipy_base/tests/ 
__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file)

In the install_data phase:
fftw_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE
dfftw_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE
atlas_info:
scipy_distutils.system_info.atlas_info
   NOT AVAILABLE
blas_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

Clearly it is not finding the vecLib BLAS libraries.  Whether this is  
because I'm on a G3 or some other problem I don't know; I was under the  
impression that although not optimized for altivec the vecLib libraries  
still processed for G3s.  Any suggestions?

My system:
