[SciPy-user] can't get weave to work (apologies for resend)

[James Coughlan]

Hello,

When I try to run a simple weave example (main.py):

from scipy import weave
a=1
weave.inline('printf("%d",a);',['a'],compiler='gcc')

it gives me this error message:
"
CompileError: error: Command "g++ -mno-cygwin -mdll -O2 -w 
-IC:\Python24\lib\site-packages\scipy\wea
ve -IC:\Python24\lib\site-packages\scipy\weave\scxx

de -IC:\Python24\include -IC:\Python24\PC -c

failed with exit status
2
WARNING: Failure executing file: <main.py>
"

If I instead specify compiler='msvc' I get a different error message:
"
DistutilsPlatformError: The .NET Framework SDK needs to be installed 
before building extensions for
Python.
WARNING: Failure executing file: <main.py>
"

When I ran weave.test() I get this report: "Ran 132 tests in 3.445s", 
but it also produced some errors, e.g. "specified build_dir '_bad_path_' 
does not exist or is not writable".

I am running Python Enthought Edition -- Python 2.4.3 for Windows 
Enhanced Python Distribution, which includes SciPy version 0.5.0.2033. 
Weave *used* to work for me when I was running Python 2.3.

Can anybody give me any suggestions, or point me to someone who might be 
able to help me?

Thanks,
James
