title: Trouble installing scikit-bio on Windows
body: <p>When attempting to install the scikit-bio toolkit via pip on Windows XP using Python 2.78 and Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, the process is interrupted with the following message issued by VC:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cl : Command line error D8021 : invalid numeric argument '/Wno-error=declaration
  -after-statement' 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Concerning this error, Microsoft Developer Network website just says: </p>
  
  <pre><code>invalid numeric argument 'number'
  
  A number greater than 65,534 was specified as a numeric argument.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I did not (yet) attempted to install scikit-bio under Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 Precise), but I am under the impression that it will work fine (as everything goes as regards Linux). </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone ever succeeded installing scikit-bio under Windows (XP, 7, 8)? Any hints?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
