Dear List

I hope this is the right place to ask about this, if not, please excuse.
I'm new to FE methods and I hope to learn about FE methods through FEniCS.
I installed the FEniCS binary on my MacBook Pro running under MacOS X 
10.6.3.
Installation seems successful, at least i can open the fenics terminal.
So I 'cd' into

$ 
/Applications/FEniCS.app/Contents/Resources/share/dolfin/demo/pde/poisson/python

and hit

$ python demo_poisson.py

This is what I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "demo_poisson.py", line 37, in<module>

_mod = imp.load_module('_cpp', fp, pathname, description)
ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/FEniCS.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dolfin/_cpp.so, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
/Applications/FEniCS.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dolfin/_cpp.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

Any help would be very appreciated. I though before I start screwing up 
a clean installation, I just ask for help because it might be a minor 
thing to fix.
Kind regards and thank you for the great work.
