           Summary: mac error during build in 10.6.1
           Product: Biopython
           Version: 1.53
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main Distribution
        AssignedTo: biopython-dev at biopython.org
        ReportedBy: emeryl at uw.edu


When I download the file biopython-1.53.tar.gz, uncompress it, and run 
python setup.py build
I get an error saying gcc4.0 failed with exit code 1, among many lines of
errors.  Looking more closely, it appears the build process is trying to use an
older version of the SDK, which is not installed by Xcode tools by default.  It
is trying to use /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk.  On a clean install of 10.6.1
(Snow Leopard) only the SDKs for 10.5 and 10.6 are installed by the Xcode tools
installer without changing options.  When I reinstall the Xcode tools and this
time check a box to install 10.4 support, this 10.4 sdk is installed and the
build works flawlessly.  This would be a difficult fix to track down for many
casual users of BioPython who do not understand the Xcode tools.
