I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and PyCuda 0.93.  I have no issues now.  I do have a
(different) recipe for installing it on Ubuntu; if the one online does not
work well, feel free to let me know.

I myself moved away from MATLAB+Windows for research purposes.  Somehow I
never could install PyCuda on Windows without Visual Studio 2003.  Ubuntu
installation is smoother.



Best,
Minjae
