----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 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
