You're correct. I built python with cygwin. Thanks for the clue.

It looks like you built Python 2.5 using cygwin (that is, the UNIX emulation layer). You cannot build your extensions with mingw32 in that case. Don't use --compiler at all and you will be fine. If you are using the regular Python binaries, then you should be using --compiler=mingw32, but you're getting the wrong Python headers in that case. -- Robert Kern ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
