Andreas,
Thanks - I'll try looking into a different debugger.
>Any particular reason to not use shipped boost?
Yes. I couldn't get it to compile properly. I tried again by running
configure.py, setup.py build, setup.py install and receive errors about missing
files (boost\mpl\aux_\_include_preprocessed something or other). If I compiled
boost from source on the machine, I could then get pycuda to compile by
changing the configuration parameters.
Agreed - the less moving parts the better.
Still stuck where I am, though. The CUDA driver is functioning...I can run the
example programs in the CUDA GPU Computing Toolkit. But, apparently the PyCuda
call to cuInit kills python.
thanks,
Mike

A Python-level debugger won't help you much--but the Windows equivalent
of gdb might--so that you can at least get a backtrace, or whatever
Windows calls those.

Any particular reason to not use shipped boost? It just adds one more
moving part. (I somehow remember that there about 15000 different ways
of building binaries on Windows, and if you combine two wrong ones,
things go to hell... maybe I'm wrong.)

That's in cuda.dll, the CUDA "driver interface".
