relax on Mac with fink -- February 21, 2010 - 21:00

Hi,

I just installed relax on a Mac using fink.
    relax-py26    1.3.4-2    Protein dynamics by NMR relax. data analysis

I also installed the dependencies using fink.
    minfx-py26    1.0.2-1    The minfx optimisation library
    numpy-py26    [virtual package]
    python26    1:2.6.4-101    Interpreted, object-oriented language
    scientificpython-py26    2.8-1    Python modules for scientific 
computing
    scons    0.98.3-1    Python-based build tool

I created a link in the relax directory pointing to the minfx directory:
    minfx@ -> /sw/lib/python2.6/site-packages/minfx/

I compiled the relaxation curve fitting modules using scons but got the 
following deprecation warnings:

========
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
/sw/lib/scons-0.98.3/SCons/Platform/posix.py:38: DeprecationWarning: The 
popen2 module is deprecated.  Use the subprocess module.
  import popen2
/sw/lib/scons-0.98.3/SCons/Tool/msvs.py:37: DeprecationWarning: the md5 
module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
========

After, I launched relax but got the following warning:

========
ImportError: dlopen(/sw/lib/relax-py26/maths_fns/relax_fit.so, 2): no 
suitable image found.  Did find:
    /sw/lib/relax-py26/maths_fns/relax_fit.so: mach-o, but wrong 
architecture
Relaxation curve fitting is unavailable, try compiling the C modules.
========

Concerning the test-suite, there were nultiple errors:
    System tests
        4 failures + 20 errors
    Unit tests
        12 errors

The unit tests errors were all the same:

======
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File 
"/sw/lib/relax-py26/test_suite/unit_tests/_generic_fns/_structure/test_scientific.py", 
line 54, in setUp
    self.data = Scientific_data()
  File "/sw/lib/relax-py26/generic_fns/structure/scientific.py", line 
60, in __init__
    raise RelaxError, "The Scientific python PDB module 
Scientific.IO.PDB could not be imported."
RelaxError: RelaxError: The Scientific python PDB module 
Scientific.IO.PDB could not be imported.
======

...


I guess all these errors are not normal...

Any idea to help me debug this issue ?

Thank you !!!
