I expect that the problem is because the Python you are using was built 
on 10.4 and distutils is trying to use the same flags that were used for 
the Python build.  You can tweak the flags that distutils will use by 
making changes in the <Python 
Framework>/.../lib/python2.4.config.Makefile dir, but there is probably 
a better way to do it.  Check with the matplotlib and PythonMac folks. 
Or there is a prebuilt-package available here:
