[lxml-dev] lxml build problem, -arch ppc -arch i386

[Ian Bicking]

Martin (copied) has been having a problem building Deliverance/lxml on a 
Mac using the latest static build stuff.  Given the error messages 
(http://paste.plone.org/25648 for /usr/bin/python and 
http://paste.plone.org/25646 with macports Python), it seems like it 
might be related to the architecture.  The compilation uses "-arch ppc 
-arch i386" pretty much unconditionally (in buildlibxml.py).

Right now the Deliverance installation procedure is a bit opaque in this 
regard, so we couldn't really try just editing buildlibxml.py and 
rerunning.  But I'm wondering why both -arch options are always there? 
Is the macports Python also a fat binary, or should it be contingent on 
which Python we're using?
