Hi @courageface, what does it happen if you try to install it directly from pypi?

[courageface]

Thanks for reply. I tried it and the same errors occurred.

[fbrundu]

I'm sorry, I have not a windows machine at the moment to test it. The last time it was working correctly. Please let me know if you find a solution for it, I'll leave this issue open for now. I'll update you if I manage to find a windows box to install it. In the meantime, do you have gcc installed on your windows and added to your path?

Francesco

[courageface]

Thank you, for gcc, I haven't install one yet, maybe it can solve the error?

[fbrundu]

I am guessing it may help, but not having a windows machine to test I cannot be sure this is the underlying issue..

[courageface]

OK, I'll have a try and update if it works. Thanks a lot !
