title: ValueError: Symbol table not found
body: <p>I'm trying to install scikit-learn; following the <a href="http://scikit-learn.org/stable/install.html" rel="nofollow">instructions</a>, I downloaded the source and attempted to install it with <code>python setup.py install</code>, however the installation is interrupted at:</p>
  
  <pre><code> File "C:\Users\Alpine\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\numpy\distutils\mingw32ccompi
  ler.py", line 278, in generate_def
      raise ValueError("Symbol table not found")
  ValueError: Symbol table not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've also tried using <code>easy_install -U scikit-learn</code>, although end up with the same error.</p>
  
  <p>Using <code>conda install scikit-learn</code> appeared to install the conda-3.4.1-py27_0.tar.bz2 and numpy-1.8.1-py27_0.tar.bz2 packages, and for safe measure I ran <code>conda update anaconda</code>, although I'm still receiving the same error.</p>
  
  <p>Would anybody know how to work around this?</p>
