I have used the trail of Visual Studio 2008 (on full Server 2003) it copmiles and runs well if you comment out the lines meantioned earlier on in this thread.
I am planning to spend some time with the intel fortran compiler to try to compile blas/lapack in the next few weeks. It is part of my current project, so I will report back, Intel are usually very friendly to open source and if that means you offer intel optimised binaries they should hopefully be willing. Hanni (P.S. I sent an output from the compile in an earlier thread, but I think it was filtered I will re-post it and try to compress it a bit) 2008/6/9 David Cournapeau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Gael Varoquaux wrote: > > > > I was just wondering, could we ask Microsoft for some help here.
