problems installling scipy.weave on windows

[Julien Fiore]

Hi,

I have problems trying to install the scipy.weave package. I run Python
2.4 on windows XP and my C compiler is MinGW.
Below is the output of scipy.weave.test(). I read that the tests should
last several minutes, but in my case it only lasts a few seconds.

Thanks in advance for any help.
