Step 2 (numpy): Downloaded Tortoise SVN: ok. Tried to compile: failure. Had to manually edit the PATH enviroment variable to add the MinGW/bin path (that should have been explained somewhere).
Isn't that in the MinGW docs?

If I have to read the MinGW docs just to install SciPy, then something is going wrong. Really, the installation instruction in the SciPy page should contain everything you need to know to install SciPy. Would it be a good idea if I updated that in the installation page?
By all means. I guess I had set the path long enough ago that I forgot. Since the procedure is fresh in your mind, and I'd have to figure it out again, why don't you go ahead and make the change.

I think the one you want is WinNT_P4SSE2.zip. (Not 100% sure, but pretty sure.) Then put it anywhere and set the environment variable.
For example, I have all the ATLAS files in c:\MinGW\lib\atlas, so I set ATLAS = c:\MinGW\lib\atlas

Ok, did it and scipy compiled (I had to restart my computer after setting the environment variable). If tested it and it works.
Hmm. I never had to restart the computer. If you change the environment variable using the WinXP Control Panel facility, it should be enough to open a new command line window (maybe you tried using a command line window that was already open when you changed the environment variable). If you use the DOS-style "set ATLAS = ..." interactively, then you should be able to continue immediately in that window. Every time you recompile, you would have to execute "set ATLAS = ..." again. I do the latter. Since I don't compile very often, I avoid cluttering the environment. thanks, gary

Thanks.
Step 4 (Do science): ok :)
