OCUnit (SenTestingKit) error file is not of required architecture

Question

I'm trying to build a project that uses OCUnit to run tests but get the following errors when linking:

ld: warning: in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/Library/Frameworks//SenTestingKit.framework/SenTestingKit, file is not of required architecture
Undefined symbols:
  "_STComposeString", referenced from:
      -[ReaderTest testEmptyFile] in ReaderTest.o
      -[ReaderTest testReadOneLine] in ReaderTest.o
      -[ReaderTest testReadOneLine] in ReaderTest.o

  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_SenTestCase", referenced from:
      _OBJC_CLASS_$_ReaderTest in ReaderTest.o
      _OBJC_CLASS_$_ActionUserInfoReaderTest in ActionUserInfoReaderTest.o
  "_OBJC_METACLASS_$_SenTestCase", referenced from:
      _OBJC_METACLASS_$_ReaderTest in ReaderTest.o
      _OBJC_METACLASS_$_ActionUserInfoReaderTest in ActionUserInfoReaderTest.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I was able to build and run with OCUnit without any problem before. This problem appeared this week but I can't tell as result of what change. I tried reinstalling XCode with the iPhone SDK 3.2.1 to no avail.

If I do get info on /Library/Frameworks/SenTestingKit.framework/Versions/A/SenTestingKit, I get "Kind: Unix Executable File (PowerPC)". This tends to indicate why I'm having a problem since I'm building on an Intel platform for architecture x86_64. However, I don't understand how it could have worked before and stopped working...

Thanks for your help.

You seem to have built your own copy of SenTestingKit, and perhaps it has the wrong architectures. It's at /Users/alexandrebeaulieu/workspaces/Project/build/Debug/SenTestingKit.framework.

When you use a shared build location, Xcode prefers to use any framework you've built to one that is installed on the system.
