[Numpy-discussion] Problems compiling ufuncs example

[Kosta Gaitanis]

Hi all,

I'm trying to run the UFunc example in the Numarray manual 
(http://stsdas.stsci.edu/numarray/numarray-1.1.html/node32.html)
 but when I run the command

    python setup.py buil_ext


I get the following output :

    running build_ext
    error: Python was built with version 7.1 of Visual Studio, and
    extensions need t
    o be built with the same version of the compiler, but it isn't installed


so I installed Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and then run the same command 
again and got the following output :

    running build_ext
    error: the .NET Framework SDK needs to be installed before building
    extensions f
    or Python


so I installed .NET Framework SDK 1.1 and then tried again.
I got back the first error...

does anyone have an idea ? What am I doing wrong ?

thanks in advance
Kosta

I'm using Python24 and NumArray 1.3.3


-- setup.py --
""" This setup demonstrates how to use the numarray code generation
facilities to define additional ufuncs at the user level.  Universal
functions apply operators or C-functions elementwise to all of the
elements of an array or pair of arrays. This setup generates code
defining three universal functions which are installed as the
numarray.foo package: Cos, bessel, and bar.

The ufuncs are used like this:

 >>> import numarray as na
 >>> import numarray.foo as foo
 >>> a = na.array([1,2,3,4], type='Int32')
 >>> foo.Cos(a)
array([ 0.54030228, -0.41614684, -0.9899925 , -0.65364361 ], type=Float32)

Note that since a is an Int32 array, Cos(a) first does blockwise
conversion of a to Float32 before calling the cosine library function.
