I set up VS 2008 SP1 on Windows 7 (64-bit) and tried to build the psutil, got the following error. VS 2008 is properly setup and with SP1 successfully patched.
I ran the "python setup.py build" command per the INSTALL file in the package.

Any ideas which library is missing from the default distutils config? How can I successfully build psutil in my environment?
