Linux. I do not believe there is a FreeBSD one.

Thanks for that I will look into that port.
I have had some success since I first sent the email.
I have compiled linking to the static linux libm and libc libraries.
(Could not work out how to do that in setup.py so just ran on command line).
Importing mathlink now gets further and truss shows
stat("/tmp/MathLink",0xbfbfd670) = 0 (0x0)
open("/tmp/MathLink",0x4,011016110000) = 4 (0x4)
fstat(4,0xbfbfd670) = 0 (0x0)
fcntl(4,F_SETFD,0x1) = 0 (0x0)
fstatfs(0x4,0xbfbfd490) = 0 (0x0)
break(0x821a000) = 0 (0x0)
close(4) = 0 (0x0)
gettimeofday({1134702603 203316},0x0) = 0 (0x0)
gettimeofday({1134702603 205100},0x0) = 0 (0x0)
open("/tmp/MathLink/pgcfgei",0x42,00) ERR#2 'No such file or
directory'
Fatal Python error: Error initializing mathlink extension module
write(2,0xbfbfd270,65) = 65 (0x41)
sigprocmask(0x3,0xbfbfd978,0x0) = 0 (0x0)
sigprocmask(0x3,0x0,0x811e11c) = 0 (0x0)
getpid() = 1501 (0x5dd)
kill(0x5dd,0x6) = 0 (0x0)
SIGNAL 6 (SIGABRT)
SIGNAL 6 (SIGABRT)
Process stopped because of: 16
process exit, rval = 6
Abort
This could be related to fact that Mathematica does not support
Python 2.4 and MathLink so I'll try installing python 2.3.
thanks
