Cygwin is present, so not just the dumbed down Windows CMD available.

I ran the numpy-1.2.1 superpak. Verified that it installed (cause you don't get near as much output as you do from a shell prompt) by running:

"

python -c 'import numpy; print numpy.__version__ '

"

and got the numpy version number back. Found the site.cfg that the installer left in the numpy package directory (it picked up on my ATLAS install, but not on MKL) and copied it into d:\temp\scipy-0.7.0b1 and ran "python setup.py install" there. Lots of positive looking output, but it ultimately crapped out. Here's the tail end of that transcript:

If you want to get around this bug, you could correct the version parsing, change in File "d:\programs\python25\lib\distutils\cygwinccompiler.py", line 424, in

get_versions ld_version = StrictVersion(result.group(1))

to ld_version = StrictVersion(result.group(1).rsplit('.',1)[0]) see version problem

...

...

from distutils.version import StrictVersion StrictVersion('2.18.50.20080625') Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in <module> StrictVersion('2.18.50.20080625') File "C:\Programs\Python25\lib\distutils\version.py", line 40, in __init__ self.parse(vstring) File "C:\Programs\Python25\lib\distutils\version.py", line 107, in parse raise ValueError, "invalid version number '%s'" % vstring ValueError: invalid version number '2.18.50.20080625' StrictVersion('2.18.50.20080625'.rsplit('.',1)[0]) StrictVersion ('2.18.50')

But, see my other message, try without cygwin. I usually don't have any problems building scipy with mingw. Josef
