[Numpy-discussion] Unable to build numpy in cygwin

[Crider, Joseph A]

I have been attempting to build recent versions of numpy and scipy in
Cygwin on Windows XP for use in Cygwin, but I haven't succeeded with any
version of numpy that I've tried newer than 0.9.8.  It seems to be
failing in building numarray.  Here is the numarray portion of the
output:

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
