Trying to install Cython so I can use openKinect Python wrapper.

I downloaded Xcode from the appstore (no install options. lame).

Im getting the following compile errors when trying to install

I also tried easy_install and that failed as well.

Error Code below

creating build/temp.macosx-10.6-universal-2.6/Cython/Plex
gcc-4.2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -Os -Wall -

    Before your command (but after any sudo) put

    env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64"
    

    (When installing, you may want to omit the arch you don’t have)

    I do not have a Mac, I’m just putting through advice from python easy_install fails with "assembler for architecture ppc not installed" on Mac OS X
