Hello all,

I ran FiPy under RedHat 5 to solve 4th-order PDE with anisotropic diffusion 
coefficient and periodic boundary in 2D model. During the first few steps, it 
shows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guessed there are four errors. But, I'm not sure how to fix it. Can someone 
explain me what's the meanings about these messages? Or, I can not solve the 
anisotropic diffusion coefficient under periodic boundary? Thank you so much 
for any help.
