[SciPy-user] Building SciPy on OS X: Universal binary issues

[Josh Marshall]

Thanks for that line Robert.

Executing that command line definitely chooses gfortran.

I am now running into this error:

compiling C sources

MacOSX10.4u.sdk -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp

with exit status 1

Any ideas on how to resolve this? It goes away if I don't try to  
compile as universal binary.

Regards,
Josh
