Latest Numpy / Scipy installation on windows. While installing numpy 1.7.0 I got the following errors. Guessing by the comments in the error, I suppose it is the unavailability of the LAPACK & ATLAS libraries; but the installation of these libraries on windows is not a trivial task. Some help will be greatly appreciated.
