[Pyx-user] A new user having trouble installing

[vignaux <Ton...@mc...>]

Pyx sounds just what I need! I have downloaded it but I am having 
trouble installing. I used the second option

>     python setup.py install

as it was implied that one did not need

> the kpathsea header and library files for this

However it is failing completely:

> [Bert:~/Documents/pythonstuff/PyX-0.4.1] vignaux% python setup.py install
> /sw/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py:227: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'platform'

> pyx/pykpathsea/pykpathsea.c:21:31: kpathsea/progname.h: No such file or directory

and a whole lot of similar error messages until:

> pyx/pykpathsea/pykpathsea.c:96: `kpse_program_text_format' undeclared (first use in this function)
> pyx/pykpathsea/pykpathsea.c:97: `kpse_program_binary_format' undeclared (first use in this function)
> pyx/pykpathsea/pykpathsea.c:98: `kpse_miscfonts_format' undeclared (first use in this function)

It does appear to need kpathsea and library files. I am using XDarwin on 
Mac OS X 10.2.x. Python version 2.3. This has latex (in the form of 
TeXshop).

What is my next step?
