It looks to me as if you are compiling --with-system-libmpdec. You don't need that, libmpdec is included in the Python tarball. -with-system-libmpdec was added mainly for Linux distros. If there's a widespread interest to support it on OS X, I'd need a patch. A hack that should work is "export PYTHON_DECIMAL_WITH_MACHINE=universal" during the Python build, then the external libmpdec might work. This flag was mainly added for testing. Note that "universal" does not always build fat binaries -- it uses whatever Python is configured with.

A hack that should work is "export PYTHON_DECIMAL_WITH_MACHINE=universal" during the Python build, then the external libmpdec *might* work.

This flag was mainly added for testing. Note that "universal" does not always build fat binaries -- it uses whatever Python is configured with.
