Re: [igraph] python-igraph OSX Lion install errors

[Bedartha Goswami]

Hi Tamas, 

I am using the Python distribution from python.org because earlier, while 
installing scipy and mat plotlib, it turned out that the Mac OS pythons are 
not preferable. So now I have only Python2.6 from python.org and have 
removed all other versions and their traces:

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Also, I actually don't have any other compiler at all on my machine other 
than the llvm-gcc-4.2 and i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2. There is a 
"gcc" listed in /usr/bin but it is an alias to llvm-gcc.
Following your suggestion I tried exporting the CC and CXX variables before 
I install the C library and then tried building the python extension. but 
nothing changed. 

Since I haven't changed/exported the ARHFLAGS variable to anything else in 
between the two steps I don't see why this is happening. I still get: 

lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: 
/var/folders/6b/xjy71xzd1vb8wr139ryyvjy00000gn/T//ccMbChaN.out
error: command 'llvm-gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 255 

Find attached the text for the above mentioned few actions. 

Best regards,
Bedartha
