#43501: Py-ephem fails with incorrect binary architecture

 Priority:  Normal           |  Milestone:

-----------------------------+--------------------------------
 I installed py-ephem and received the failure listed below. I believe this
 is a problem with py-ephem itself. After installing pip using Macports, I
 followed the installation instructions on the Pyephem web site, which
 requires pip, and received the same error. I noted that the clang compiler
 was being used to build the code using pip. Prior builds for my other
 programs have used gcc. I am running OS X 10.7. I am running version 2.1.1
 of Macports.

 I resolved this problem by installing from source. I note that gcc was the
 chosen compiler during the source install (using python setup.py install).

 Thank you!
