I don't know if you saw my comment earlier in this thread: > A quick test later: > No BLAS/ATLAS/LAPACK causes a string of warnings, And ignoring the > rest of the error stack (which I'm frankly not interested in investing > the time to diagnose and fix) I get "RuntimeError: Broken toolchain: > cannot link a simple C program". Which is utter rubbish - I routinely > build extensions with this installation. This is a straight "pip install numpy" run in a virtualenv on Windows 7 64-bit with MSVC 2010 (full edition) installed. I still don't have the time to do detailed diagnosis or digging, but if you cannot generate the same error yourself I can rerun the command and put the output into a bug report if that helps. (Please provide a link to the bug tracker, I didn't see it mentioned on www.numpy.org or on the pypi page for numpy).
