Compilation problem on Mac OS 10.6.8 with python version from fink

What steps will reproduce the problem?  
1. Download and unpack  psutil-0.3.0.tar.gz
2. Execute: python setup.py install 

What is the expected output?  


What do you see instead?  
One expects that psutil compiles without errors. Instead I get:
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext

What version of psutil are you using? What Python version?  
0.3.0 

On what operating system? Is it 32bit or 64bit version?  
Mac OS 10.6.8 

Please provide any additional information below.  
I have two installations of gcc
- the one from Apple: (i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. 
build 5659)
- the one from fink: gcc-4 (GCC) 4.5.0

By default /usr/bin/gcc (the Apple one) is invoked. But my python install is 
from fink. So I guess this causes the problem. Can someone propose a solution?

I don't have any input on this as I don't have fink installed. Possibly you 
could use environment variables or distutils mods to get it to use the right 
gcc, but I can't confirm/test here to tell you for sure. 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5967065/python-distutils-not-using-correct-version-of-gcc
 I'd try some of the suggestions there, particularly setting the CC env 
variable and see if that helps. I'm not sure what's up with the libs being i386 
though, that may or not still be an issue if you switch gcc versions.

Closing this out as it doesn't look like a psutil bug.
