I just successfully install fipy on two ubuntu computers. One is a workstation with 4 cpus, another is a common desktop with a 2GHz CPU. When I try to run some examples, they seems o.k, like diffusion/ mesh1D etc. But when I run this examples.phase.anisotropy , it takes a very long time. For workstation, it takes more than 30mins. For that ordinary desktop, it takes 2 hours but still not finished. Anyone knows the reason? Is there any software I miss?

How long should it take?

diffusion.mesh1D solves a single diffusion equation, only some with any non-linearity, on a 50 cell mesh.

phase.anisotropy solves a pair of coupled, non-linear PDEs on a 500x500 mesh. I don't think I find it surprising that it should take longer. 5000x longer might be a good estimate of a lower bound.
