building Python numarray

2004-05-11 Thread james pentland
gcc version 3.3.1 release breaks Python setup. setup expects a c compiler named gcc, which is no longer supplied. this causes numarray to fail to install. what is the proper fix? one way would be to make a copy of the c compiler named gcc, but will this break other things? [[--]] console ses
