Ok, that explains why it works to flawlessly.  When you would be on
10.6, you would probably run into the problem I mentioned, because the
software is compiled /also/ for 10.5, and hence with gcc-4.0.  Lucky
one ;-)  - I'm a bit annoyed by this, but it seems, one can load with
gcc-4.2 compiled software gcc-4.0 compiled libraries, but not vice
versa (i.e. load with a gcc-4.0 compiled program like python from EPD
a shared lib compiled with gcc-4.2).

Is the EPD you're using both for 10.5 and 10.6?

Well,
Friedrich
