[New-bugs-announce] [issue12712] weave build_tools library identification

[Tim Holme]

New submission from Tim Holme <timholme at gmail.com>:

This may be a problem with scipy/weave, or it may be a problem with the site-library pythonequations, or it may be in python 2.7.2 itself.  

When running the program, it looks for an installed version of MinGW, which it finds.  It is possibly looking for C:\Python27\lib\distutils\core.py in the wrong location (the "Lib" should be capitalized?) It then throws the error report:

Found executable C:\MinGW\bin\g++.exe
