Please show us the full error message with context. Are you using a Cygwin build of Python or a native Windows build? What GCC version and flavor are you using? I'm not sure if Cygwin is even supported. I recommend that you use MinGW with GCC 4.x if you can't afford VS 2003. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
