Hi -

I'm am unable to build PyWCS on a Windows 7 and Windows XP machines
using the latest EPD 7.0.2.  In both cases I get the same compiler
error.   Any hints or advice would be most welcome.  Below I include
configuration information and the build log.

Thanks, Tom

Windows 7 Pro 64bit, 2009, fully updated.

Python version is 2.7.1 -- EPD 7.0-2 (64bit)

Here is what I get with "python setup.py install" command from the
directory indicated, where I unzipped the pywcs tar ball:
