Yeah, sounds like trouble finding the glew library.  I would suggest 
first trying:
"otool -L /sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/glew/glew.so"

This is equivalent to the "ldd" command in linux.  This should show you 
if and which libglew is being used.

Another option is to just download the 
"glewpy-0.7.4-py2.4-macosx-10.4-fat.egg" binary I have posted.  It still 
requires that you have glew installed, but it just might work.  Just 
unzip the file and put the resulting "glew" folder in 
"/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/".  This binary works on 10.4 and 10.3.9.

Let me know if you get any closer.  If you still have problems please 
send me those ".info" files and I can install fink on my mac and try it out.
