'gcc' failed with exit status 1

[JR]

Hello All,

I was hoping I could get some help with this issue with getting Cython
to work. Earlier I had an issue that said "unable to find
vcvarsall.bat" and it turns out there is an active bug report that
covers that issue (I have a 64 bit windows system). I still hadn't
installed 3.1.2, so I did that tonight and now I have the issue below.
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Given that you're on Windows, this looks like a known bug in Cython:

http://trac.cython.org/cython_trac/ticket/520

This is due to the lack of universal newline support in the codecs module,
which has been fixed in the new Py2.6+ 'io' module. A patch for Cython that
switches to the new 'io' module and works around this issue in older Python
versions is available:

http://hg.cython.org/cython-devel/raw-rev/751bdd38b55c

That being said, the simplest way to work around this issue is to switch to
Unix line endings in your source file. Most editors support this without
problems.
