Hi Philippe,
sorry, but I removed that build, because I tried many other combinations of setup.
So you can be right, that particular combination could be mis-configured.
But now looking on old posts I found that one: root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.ph … c&start=15
So apparently there is a mismatch between the architectures.
Actually I tried now to run the ./configure without any options, and then compiled. The libpyroot is thus built for
RM-Bianchis-MacBook:~ rmbianchi$ file /opt/root/root_python265/lib/libPyROOT.so /opt/root/root_python265/lib/libPyROOT.so: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
RM-Bianchis-MacBook:~In this case the ARCH macosx64 is automatically selected (why? is the Apple default?) and then I’m not able to import ROOT from the new python installation (2.6.5) because of a “wrong architecture version”, but I’m able to import it from the built-in system python (2.6.1):

>>>So apparently the ./configure command picks the system python, even if “which python” points to the custom python installation.
So I do not understand how could I make it work for a standard .dmg installation from python.org.
Should I compile python from source for 32 bit instead of 64??
Thanks again for your help,
Ric.
