I wouldn't go as far to say it is strongly discouraged; merely that it
is not for the faint of heart. For enterprising souls who know there
way around a compiler, I would encourage it, since we would have more
hands to help with building and testing svn on windows. As for the
specific error messages, it looks like you do not have the tk
development headers installed or for some reason your build is not
finding them. Please see the header for win32 in setupext.py and
references to the READMEs therein if you want to pursue this.

My mistake. Not for the faint of heart is a much better way of putting it.

Hey Charlie thanks for the info.
I went ahead and installed Active Tcl
I removed microsft visual studio 2003 .net from my computer because I never
used it, and I did not want it on here in the first place but i had it on
here from being an intern over the summer.

Has anyone seen this one? I would not be so persistent as to trying to
install the current SVN except that I need one of the algorithms in numpy
version 1.0b2 and above.
I am also going to post this on the numpy mailing list because it says the
error is in numpy.distutils.

You need to install the tcl/tk headers as Darren mentioned. I just
install ActiveTcl and the build should pick up on it no problem.
