Yes -- this is exactly what I figured, since I could see that during the
scipy build, the fortran compiler wasn't getting the -arch x86_64 flag.

Precisely. I built numpy 1.3.0 first before trying scipy, the build worked
perfectly, and passed all the tests.    I guess this is either be because
only the C compiler is being used (and it is, even in the scipy build,
getting the right arch flag), or because for some reason any use of the
fortran compiler is being called with the right flags?

So are you saying that I should
  1)  find and edit the LDFLAGS and FFLAGS lines of Make file with the
options shown above, and
  2) then do "python26 setup.py install" at the shell

or:

  just execute the command

     LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64 -undefined dynamic_lookup -bundle" FFLAGS="-arch
x86_64 -O2 -Wall -fPIC" python26 setup.py install

 at the shell?

Sorry for this question and my ignorance.

Thanks very much for your help (I really had been struggling with this)!
