[postgis-users] Error when building from source on mac os x 10.6

[William Kyngesburye]

The machine architecture is not the same as what you archs you compile for, though GCC does default to x86_64.

Anyways...

Did you try setting only "-arch x86_64", without i386?

P.S. Are you compiling everything yourself for any paricular reason?  Have you tried my PostGIS package?

It may be i386 and x86_64, but it could also be only x86_64.  If i386 is the only common arch, you should recompile to get at least x86_64.
