[python-win32] rdflib install fails

[Jose Quesada]

Hi all,

I'm new to python.
I'm trying to install rdflib. It needs to compile some C code, so it  
relies on cywin/gcc.
It seems that it doesn't like something in my system. Here is the error:

invalid version number '2.18.50.20080625'

I have no idea what software this version number is about. Can you help?

I have pasted the full command used and error log.

Thanks a lot,
-Jose
