Make sure you have (at least for me) 10.4 development tools turned on when installing Xcode. Otherwise I got errors like:

ld: library not found for -lbundle1.o collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'gcc-4.0' failed with exit status 1

@Rune, Hm, I was either using bash or zsh at the time (probably bash). I'll correct it by removing the checks, chances are they're not needed anyway.

Thanks.

What shell are you using? I get a syntax like error when I try to run: [ -f "ld.sh" -a -n -f "files/ld.sh" ] && sudo mv ld.sh files/

It fails with the error message [: too many arguments.

Also, unless I have the hole permission things wrong you need a sudo in front of the "mkdir files".

Thanks so much! I’ve been searching the net for days trying to find a way to get psycopg2 working on snow leopard. The only trouble I had was that the bash bracket test lines didn’t work so I just did the file moves by hand. Not sure what’s wrong there, but the rest of it worked like a charm. So happy and productive now. Thank you.
