[SciPy-user] Problem installing Core on OS X

[Joshua L. Adelman]

After successfully installing Scipy on my G5 Powermac Workstation,  
I'm attempting to do the same for my G4 powerbook. I used the  
instructions for getting the core and scipy from SVN (from "Building  
Scipy for Mac OSX") and got the following output when using the command:

cd core
python setup.py build

OUTPUT:

Traceback (most recent call last):
