Problem With Mpich2 & Mpi4py Installation

I'm on Windows XP2 32-bit machine. I'm trying to install MPICH2 & mpi4py. I've downloaded & installed MPICH2-1.2.1p1 I've downloaded & mpi4py When I run python setup.

Solution 1:

I don't know much about Python but here goes anyway:

Your install script is failing to find a C compiler, C++ compiler or linker. Look inside the script and see where it is looking. Modify the script to look in the location where you have those items installed. You may (probably will) also find that you can specify an argument for the install script to point it at the right location without having to modify the script.

Don't forget, MPICH2 is a combination of libraries for linking to and a run-time system, for executing MPI jobs (that's your mpiexec.exe). I see you also have the Jumpshot profiler installed.

MPICH2 is not, and doesn't include, a compiler.

HTH

Solution 2:

It looks like the windows MPICH2 binary package doesn't set up the compiler wrappers; you'll probably have to pull down the sources and build it to get support for your devel tools.
