Dear Daniel, William, Dariusz and other Fipyers Thanks for the prompt replies!
I use a Debian system as my primary machine. Fipy works fine on this system. I was trying to get FiPy working on a Windows system, since I will not have access to my Debian box for the next few weeks. In any case, I have decided to install Debian on this other system too. Thanks again! Regards Arvind On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 9:18 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear Arvind, > > You can always give a try to one of the linux distributions.
