Any suggestions?
It turns out that the problem is in the step after the gcc. I have now tracked it into setup.py. There is a call to imp.load_dynamic() that fails. I haven't been able to figure out why yet, in large part because I am not familiar with module imp (and imp.load_dynamic isn't even documented). -- Jeffrey Barish -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
