Hi, I have Python 2.5 installed on WinXP and I am trying to install a new package. I ran the setup.py build and I get the following message:
C:\packages\reedsolomon-0.1>setup.py build running build running build_ext error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries. Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed, you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py. I have Visual Studio 2005 Express (the free one) installed. Is there a way to specify an option to compile using that version of the compiler? Sorry for the silly question and thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions! -- Gheorghe Postelnicu, PhD MGH, Harvard Medical School -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
