Lyndsey - I see your resolution to the -framework Carbon problem, I
discovered that also.  But I'm still groping for the solution to the
"Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading" problem.  My linker (gcc
running under the Eclipse IDE) produces a .dylib by default, not a .so, and
if I simply rename the file, I get the same traceback you got.  Clearly
.dylib is an Apple dynamic library format, and MacPython 2.4 is not prepared
to recognize it.  How did you resolve this?  Did going to Python 2.5
suffice?
