Re: 64 bit PyROOT on Leopard

Strangely, while the python application is only compiled i386/ppc, the python 2.5 shared library is compiled with all four architectures:

Rover:~ stan$ file /usr/lib/libpython.dylib /usr/lib/libpython.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 4 architectures /usr/lib/libpython.dylib (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc
/usr/lib/libpython.dylib (for architecture ppc64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library ppc64
/usr/lib/libpython.dylib (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
/usr/lib/libpython.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64

This doesn't solve your problem, but it is rather curious...
