Sorry, but I have no idea. The installer has many problems in terms of
dependencies to a specific Python version, that could be the cause -- or
some unknown change in Enthought's Python.

Fortunately, we will be able to discontinue the installer and replace it
with a proper MacPort (thanks to James Kyle). This will also make it a
lot easier to install the numerous dependencies of PyMVPA on a Mac
system.

You can take a look at the docs of the upcoming version 0.4.1 to see how
it is going to work. We only need a few more days for testing and will
release 0.4.1 when nothing pops up -- that should solve this problem
properly.
