[Pytables-users] trouble installing pytables 2.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.5

[Maarten S. <maa...@xs...>]

Hi,

I have trouble installing pytables 2.0.2 on Mac OS X, version 10.5.1  
on Intel.

Here is the output of python setup.py build_ext --inplace

### begin
* Found numpy 1.0.4 package installed.
* Found HDF5 headers at ``/usr/local/include``, library at ``/usr/ 
local/lib``.
* Could not find LZO 2 headers and library; disabling support for it.
* Could not find LZO 1 headers and library; disabling support for it.
* Found bzip2 headers at ``/usr/include``, library at ``/usr/lib``.

mismatch: now "10.3" but "10.5" during configure
### end

I have set the value of the environment variable  
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 10.3 and 10.5 explicitly (by default it is  
not set at all), but got the same results (from a clean pytables  
source directory). Any clues?

Kind regards,

Maarten
