[egenix-users] mxBase installation on PowerPC (MacOSX)?

I'm having trouble intalling the mxBase package, on a PowerPC Mac.  I
was able to install version 3.0 on my Intel MacPro, no problem, and I
was able to install the previous v.2.something on my PowerPC
Powerbook, but I can't get v 3.0 to install on the Powerbook.  Both
the powerbook and the intel mac are running MacOS 10.4.10, with python
updated to v.2.4.

I'm trying to install the
egenix-mx-base-3.0.0.darwin-8.9.0-Power_Macintosh-py2.4_ucs2.prebuilt
package, which should be right for this machine.  Running python
setup.py install starts OK but runs into gcc errors, closing with the
following lines:
 ----------------------------------------------------

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
