Hello,

Thank you very much. miniconda worked. I had to manually remove everything
from my account and install from scratch, but i got it to work (for testing
at least). The only skip I got was:

kwant.solvers.tests.test_sparse.test_umfpack_del ... SKIP

which i wont bother to check for now.

Please expect more questions as i dig into kwant more.

Thanks again.

Fatih
