E.M.,

Can you please clarify several points you make?

- In the Cygwin installer, I find no "lapack", but searching the installer
for that term does return "liblapack". Would that Cygwin package suffice?
If not, how would you suggest I install it?

- In the Cygwin installer, I find no "openblas", but searching the
installer for that term does return "libopenblas" (and the Cygwin installer
tells me I already have v 0.3.9-1 installed). Does that suffice?

- In the Cygwin installer, I find no "gcc", "g++", or "gfortran", but
searching the installer for those terms does return "gcc-core", "gcc-g++",
"libgfortran4", and "libgfortran5". Can you please tell me the exact
spellings of the packages that worked for you? I lack the background to
interpret your informal descriptions.

- In the Cygwin installer, I find Packages with names of the form
"python37-" followed respectively by "tkinter", "six", and "wheel", and I'm
pretty confident that the long names I've found are what you're describing.
Are you saying that these three are necessary for installing scipy, or that
they're possibly necessary, and you're not sure?

Since you had recent success installing scipy, I'd like to try your recipe,
but could use exact spellings if you have time. Thank you.
