[Visualpython-users] Help get python visual to work on OSX 10.6 with Python2.6.4!

[Nick F. <ni...@bi...>]

Does anyone have this combination working "out of the box" so to speak??
Is there tweaking involved?

Long Story follows...
thanks

========================================================================================
I have a  Mac OSX  10.6.2 Intel Core Duo:
10.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.2.0: Tue Nov  3 10:37:10 PST 2009; root:xnu-1486.2.11~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

I have Python from darwinPorts:
2.6.4    
(I also have 2.5 and 2.3, but I have code that I have tested so it points to
the latest version by default))

After a successful vpython install from
http://vpython.org/contents/download_mac.html

When I try to run any Python Visual code, I get the message:
site-packages/visual/cvisual.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

This seems to be to be an error of a 32 bit shared object, whereas I believe I want a 64 bit shared object.
file shows:
/site-packages/visual/cvisual.so: Mach-O bundle i386
whereas  I believe I need:
	Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64

I have started looking for the source to cvisual.so....but so far unsuccessful.
The closest source I have found is cvisualmodule.cpp
in the visual-5.12_release of the source .... but I am not convinced that is correct.

I have installed all pre-requisites for VisualPython including "boost", GTK2, GTKMM, etc again from DarwinPorts.
So I am ready....

BUT after a successful configure, I get to the "make" stage...which mostly succeeds TILL I get an error:

Compiling ./python/arrayprim.cpp ...
make[1]: *** [arrayprim.lo] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

It is the same error reported in Nov 2009 by:
http://www.mail-archive.com/pyt...@py.../msg267326.html

(Coincidently this is the 1st directory that includes "boost" if that helps ....)

Has anyone solved this problem?

Thanks
