Description

Using Mac OS 10.5 (leopard) system python on my PPC (powerbook G4). I following the readline installation instructions at: http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/InstallationOSXLeopard

The readline installation fails with: lipo: can't open input file: /var/tmp//ccWQQ3z9.out (No such file or directory) error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

It appears that easy_install sees the egg with name *-i386.egg and tries to build the library rather than install the binary, which is supposed to be universal. Some other details can be found in the following threads in ipython-user: http://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox/11842e8da10656f2 http://mail.google.com/mail/?zx=4nfcj7y0nz02&shva=1

The complete build output is attached.
