[Visualpython-users] OS X build getting closer

[Dethe E. <de...@li...>]

OK the problem turned out to be that I am a doofus.  Although I had  
sourced /sw/bin/init.sh, I hadn't actually checked my path afterwards  
(maybe I ran it instead of sourcing it?).  Anyway, I was picking up  
Apple's autoconf chain, not fink's.  Changed that, found a couple of  
more dependencies needed, installed those, made it much further.

I'm running into a problem when VPython tries to bind to numpy.  I  
have numpy installed in my standard Python, and (via scipy) in fink.   
But VPython's make can't find it, and setting GCC_INCLUDE_DIR doesn't  
appear to help.  Is this something I need to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH?

I'm feeling like this is so close now.  And I found where the .info  
file was hiding, so I'm looking at that to see how the fink VPython  
was built.

Progress!

Thanks,
