juser at yate2:~/src/PythonMagick$ export CC=gcc-4.0
juser at yate2:~/src/PythonMagick$ scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

sh: gcc: not found

pythonmagick_src/_DrawableFillRule.cpp
sh: o: not found'sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc'

I have no idea why it is trying to run o, but that is the same thing I got when 
I did your other 2 ideas (including the one you recommend against, which I then 
un-did :)

juser at yate2:~$ ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 $HOME/bin/gcc
juser at yate2:~$ which gcc
/home/juser/bin/gcc
juser at yate2:~$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.0.4 20060630 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.3-4)
juser at yate2:~$ cd src/PythonMagick/
juser at yate2:~/src/PythonMagick$ scons

pythonmagick_src/_DrawableFillRule.cpp
sh: o: not found
(more of the same)

Any idea how to force versions of the other packages?  I am just guessing it is 
a version problem that is causing PythonMagic build to fail, and just guessing 
that gcc version has anything to do with it (doubt it really, but it was first 
on the list.)
