And then after that I ran into another error that looks like it might be
numpy related.  So i am posting this here and on Matplotlibs list.  The
second error is why i am posting here but since some of you use the latest
SVN on windows maybe you could offer more general help of how to compile
matplotlib on windows

I went ahead and installed Active Tcl
I removed microsft visual studio 2003 .net from my computer because I never
used it, and I did not want it on here in the first place but i had it on
here from being an intern over the summer.

This is the error i got after my first try at

python setup.py install

after it did not work is when i uninstalled .net 2003.  and i recieve this
error currently.

Has anyone seen this one?  I would not be so persistent as to trying to
install the current SVN except that I need one of the algorithms in numpy
version 1.0b2 and above.
I am also going to post this on the numpy mailing list because it says the
error is in numpy.distutils.
