Thanks for the suggestion Jeff. I have been dealing with the same problem. I found the makefile in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/PythonX.Y/config/Makefile
from an EPD install. Is this makefile the template used whenever I build a package against python using distutils? Or do I need to rebuild python somehow for i386 only?

Hello - I am attempting to build matplotlib from source on os X, and getting an error about a shared library being the wrong architecture. The confusing thing is that the call to g++ has two settings for arch:
“g++ -arch i386 -arch ppc…”
The error I get is:
“ld: in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/Library/Frameworks/ Python.framework/Versions/4.3.0/lib/libz.1.dylib, file is not of required architecture for architecture ppc”
Is there some way to turn off the “-arch ppc” option to g++ in setup.py? Or do I have some other problem?
Build output is included below.
Thanks,
Mike
Mike: You need to edit
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/PythonX.Y/Makefile
(or whatever the corresponding path is for your python installation)
and remove all references to “-arch ppc” if you don’t want to build universal binaries (which you can’t if the libs you’re linking are not universal).
