when i try installing scipy_core
python setup.build 
python setup.install .....
 
I get a 

no module named ccomplier error

its an import error when trying to install scipy_core ... main problem seems with the distutils folder 

I've tried using the mingw complier to install the distutils but i recieved an error saying that the library have been compiled using MVS 7.1 

any ideas what i can try next...

where could i get my hands on MVS 7.1

scipy no longer distributes any plotting packages. Older versions (0.3.x) do
have some, but they are unsupported. Probably the best place for you to start
with is matplotlib.

Where did you get this version of Chaco? It is almost certainly not up-to-date.
A more current, working version of Chaco is coming soon, but it will not be a
part of scipy.

We can't help you until you give us more detailed information like what version
of Python you have installed, what version of scipy you are trying to install,
what C and Fortran compilers you are using, and the actual text of the error
messages you are seeing.

They actually build and install the package.
