[Pythonmac-SIG] scipy.optimize

[Jon Peirce]

I've tried installing numpy(1.0) and scipy(0.51) from Bob's repository 
of universal installers
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/index.html

Most of the libs seem to work fine but I can't import optimize from scipy.

On a PPC running python 2.4, OS X 10.4.8 I get the error message:

> >>>from scipy import optimize

> Traceback (most recent call last):

On an Intel Mac I get (the slightly different):

>

> python2.4/site-packages/scipy/optimize/__init__.py", line 7, in ?

> python2.4/site-packages/scipy/optimize/linesearch.py", line 3, in ?
>     import minpack2
> ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading 


Does anyone know why? Has minpack2 compiled incorrectly (or maybe not 
been recompiled)?

cheers
