It looks like you did not install python correctly. I strongly recommend you to use the python available for cygwin, after having removed the python you installed from sources. Installing the python package does give you /usr/lib/python2.5/config, as can be seen on the cygwin package list. Once you correctly installed the python package from cygwin, remove the build directory in numpy sources, and start again. This should get you further, cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
