PyTables install fail at windows

Question

I try to install pytable module. I use win7 x64, python 2.7.2 (x32), cython 0.16, visual studio 2008 (9.0). At cmd.exe 'run as administrator' write: 'python setup.py install'.

But there are unresolved external symbols and build failed:

* Found numpy 1.6.2 package installed.
* Found numexpr 1.4.2 package installed.
* Found Cython 0.16 package installed.
* Found HDF5 headers at ``C:\Program Files (x86)\HDF Group\HDF5\1.8.9\include``, library at ``C:\Program Files (x86)\HDF Group\HDF5\1.8.9\lib``.
* Could not find LZO 2 headers and library; disabling support for it.
* Could not find LZO 1 headers and library; disabling support for it.
* Could not find bzip2 headers and library; disabling support for it.

Have any ideas?

I found the solution. I must use shared version of hdf5 library. http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html (HDF5189-win32-vs10-shared.zip). NOT static!
