Install problem,Cygwin,CDat 4.3, XPSP2, P4

I am trying to install CDAT 4.3, under Cygwin 3.4.4, Windows XP SP2, on a Dell Pentium 4 system. My uname -a gives: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 SweetLou 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin
My problem is very similar to one posted on 12/7/07 although it is not clear to me, a rookie at this, that my situation is the same. Any help would be appreciated. The tail of the pysrc/build/python.LOG is:
enable-auto-image-base' OPT='-DNDEBUG -O' ./python.exe -E ./setup.py -q build;; \ *) CC='gcc' LDSHARED='gcc -shared -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base' OPT='-DNDEBUG -O' ./python.exe -E ./setup.py build;; \ esac
