Hi Ole,

I have been trying to compile/install pypar on my XP+MSYS/MINGW
machine, but I have not been able to. I'm able to build it just fine
using "python setup.py build -c mingw32" but I'm not able to install
it into the python2.5 site-packages. The command I used for
installation was exactly the same as the above but with install. It
replies with the following message:
---
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
  or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
  or: setup.py --help-commands
  or: setup.py cmd --help

error: invalid command 'mingw32'
---
or with this if I remove the -c option:
---
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003;
extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries.
Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed,
you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py.
---

I have also tried to manually copy the pypar build directory into
site-packages, which works from ipython but will not run the demo.py
files from the cooamn-line using mpirun.

Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Regards
Chiraj
