[SciPy-user] Building scipy_core 0.6.1 and 0.8.4 from source fails on Windows XP Pro / cygwin

[George Christianson]

Good morning,
	I tried to build scipy_core versions 0.6.1 and 0.8.4 from SourceForge 
sources.  My platform runs Windows XP version 2002, service pack 2, with a 
4 processor 3GHZ pentium.  I build under cygwin 1.5.18, gcc version 3.4.4, 
python 2.4.1.  In each of the two versions, I unpacked the gzipped source 
files and ran 'python setup.py build.  In eack case, the builds proceeded 
normally until this point:

customize GnuFCompiler using build_ext

ipy/base -Iscipy/base/src -I/usr/include/python2.4 -c'

Could somebody suggest where I should look to resolve these references?
