py26-numpy +no_atlas does not build on x86_64

[jochen@…]

Trying to upgrade py26-numpy to 1.4.0_0 I get the following error

compile options: '-DNO_ATLAS_INFO=3 -Inumpy/core/blasdot -Inumpy/core/include -Ibuild/src.macosx-10.6-x86_64-2.6/numpy/core/include/numpy -Inumpy/core/src/private -Inumpy/core/src -Inumpy/core -Inumpy/core/src/npymath -Inumpy/core/src/multiarray -Inumpy/core/src/umath -Inumpy/core/include -I/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include/python2.6 -Ibuild/src.macosx-10.6-x86_64-2.6/numpy/core/src/multiarray -Ibuild/src.macosx-10.6-x86_64-2.6/numpy/core/src/umath -c'

Please, try to reinstall gcc43 before building numpy.

-faltivec (APPLE only)
    This flag is provided for compatibility with Metrowerks CodeWarrior and MrC compilers as well as previous Apple
    versions of GCC.  It causes the -mpim-altivec option to be turned on.

Hmm, of course I can do that, but why would I want to specify -faltivec on a machine with a x86_64 (Intel!) CPU?

Would it even help (maybe it could because the compiler silently ignores it)?

Just because of yours +universe variant.

It's very strange, that yours gcc doesn't support Apple-specific switches. Probably yours gcc is slightly out-of-date.

I am not using +universal. I have currently installed the following py26-numpy @1.3.0_0+no_atlas (active) and simply say sudo port upgrade py26-numpy

port sync ; port outdated does not give gcc43 to be outdated...

Please, supply output of:

python2.6 -c "import distutils.util; print distutils.util.get_platform()"

That works, thanks!
