Problem importing numpy in python 2.7.3

[jose milovich <josem11 at yahoo dot com>]

I just installed cygwin 1.17.18-1 in a windows box running windows 7 enterprise.

I have used in the past cygwin 1.15.1 with no problems on a windows XP 32 bit machine.

When I import numpy (1.6.2) into python 2.7.3  I get the following message

python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Dec 18 2012, 13:50:09)
[GCC 4.5.3] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy

    from numpy.linalg import lapack_lite
ImportError: No such file or directory
>>>


I verified that lapack_lite.dll is in the appropriate place but not sure why it does not recognize it.

I have read on the web that there was at some time a problem with cyggfortran-3.dll but not sure 

what to do if this is the case.
