[cx-oracle-users] build/install on intel os x?

[Steve S. <ssw...@ve...>]

Has anyone had success building on an Intel Mac?  I've had a notable  
lack of success building cx_oracle 4.1.2 on OS X 10.4.5 for Intel.   
I'm using Oracle's 10.1.0.3 instant client and gcc 4.0.1.  I haven't  
seen a full 10g client for OS X, just the instant client.  The  
database server itself is an Ubuntu machine running Oracle 10g  
express edition (10.2.x.x.).

The Python version is 2.4.1; the machine came with 2.3, and I  
installed the latest MacPython distribution.  I assume that's a Power  
version that is running under Rosetta; I don't think a universal  
binary version has yet been released.

The interpreter reports the build used gcc 3.3.  Is that part of the  
problem?

I'm very new to Macs and fairly new to Python, and the whole Intel  
thing seems to throw in some more fun and games, so I'm not sure if  
I'm just doing something stupid or if this combination of  
technologies is just a no-go for now.  I could post the vast list of  
build errors I'm seeing, if I find out that this should even be  
possible.

I've searched for a while without seeing anything that can help, so  
if anyone can throw some hints and tips my way I would appreciate  
it.  Thanks.
