[SciPy-User] Problem Installing with Python 2.7 on OS X 10.6

[Eli Finkelshteyn]

Right you are. I tried uninstalling numpy and then reinstalling through 
easy_install on a lark, which resulted in me getting that error instead 
of the one I was getting previously, which was my actual problem. 
Anyway, long story short, uninstalling everything, recompiling Python as 
32bit, and then reinstalling everything through PIP fixed my problem.
