I'm looking at the possibility that it is a problem with the python header

as suggested in the first solution message. I haven't found a distribution

I
did find one with an .rpm extension, and I tried using the RPM management
package on the mac, but that seems like it could be another project..
I wouldn't use the RPM! There should be another way to install this,
but I'm not too familiar with the Mac OS X Python packages. It may be
called libpython2.4_devel*, lib64python2.5_devel*, or something like
that.
Seems a bit odd that my Python.h file is in a Sparkky directory, but not
also in
a Python base install type directory, no?
Sparky ships with its own copy of python. But this is unlikely to
match the Python version you get when typing 'python'. The compiled
modules may be broken if you use the Sparky python.h file.
I've tried installing a few different versions of Python, include the most
recent (2.6), but none of them seem to change the output of 'locate
Python.h'
This file will only exist on your system if you install the
development libraries, which are usually separate. Does anyone else
on this list use Mac OS X and know what the name of the development
package is that needs to be installed?
Also, updating to 2.6 causes a number of errors, starting the output
claiming
that various dependencies are not installed, and then after re-installing
them,
there seems to be other problems. Anyways, that's not the issue I'm having
so
here's the relevant output:
locate Python.h
/Applications/Sparky.app/Contents/Resources/python2.4/include/python2.4/Python.h
This machine is missing the development libraries. This file is the
Sparky distributed python version.
for the machine I'm trying to do the curve fitting on.
For another mac I've tested,
Output:
locate Python.h
/Applications/Sparky.app/Contents/Resources/python2.4/include/python2.4/Python.h
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Vers
ions/2.3/include/python2.3/Python.h

n.h
/sw/include/python2.4/Python.h
The last line is the correct location for the library files. This
machine has the development libraries installed and should compile
relax. Sorry, but I don't think I can help in locating what needs
to be installed. However I do know that others have managed to
compile the sources on Mac OS X. For example Jack Howarth "howarth
att bromo dot msbb dot uc dot edu" when creating the Fink packages
(https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-users/2008-08/msg00004.html). I
think Douglas Kojetin "douglas dot kojetin att gmail dot com" has also
used relax on a Mac. If you do find out what the package is, could
you send a description to this mailing list for future reference
(https://mail.gna.org/public/relax-users/).
