I'm trying to use the 'numarray' package (v1.1.1) under Python 2.4 running under CygWin.
I initially downloaded the Windows executable version of the numarray package, and installed it under C:\program files\python\lib\site-packages. That works with the Windows version of Python, but not the CygWin version, where it fails with the msg: ImportError: No module named _conv The file _conf.pyd exists, but my guess is that the .pyd suffix is not recognized under the CygWin version of Python. (But that doesn't make sense...) So I decided to download the .tgv version of the numarray package into /lib/site-packages (under my CygWin dir), and build it. Unfortunately, the build fails with the msg: building 'numarray._conv' extension gcc -shared -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base \ build/temp.cygwin-1.5.12-i686-2.4/Src/_convmodule.o \ -L. -lpython2.4 -o \ build/lib.cygwin-1.5.12-i686-2.4/numarray/_conv.dll \ -L/lib -lm -lc -lgcc -L/lib/mingw -lmingwex /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: \ cannot find -lpython2.4 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 (I've tried to indicate the wrapped lines above by continuing them with "\", but no guarantees this won't wrap again...) At first I thought this was a problem with a path, but even hard coding the path at the command line doesn't seem to work: > gcc -l/lib/python2.4 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: \ cannot find -l/lib/python2.4 I have a _directory_ /lib/python2.4, but it sounds like gcc is looking for some kind of library file.
