I know. For that very reason I made a serious attempt to move my main computing environment from Windows to Linux a few months ago. Unfortunately, as I documented on my blog at http://nerdfever.com/?p=1733, that didn't work for me. I hope I'm not getting too old for this stuff. > When you > get more comfortable with it you can try the custom 64 bit install > again.

I'm also looking at Spyder/Python as a replacement for Matlab. I'd really like to get the 64 bit environment working, but since I wasn't able even to get the 32-bit versions working without the help of python(x,y), I think I'll have to wait a bit on that. I'm still hoping for either at 64-bit version of python(x,y), or an understanding of how the install is supposed to go. Anyway, thanks very much for your replies. Spyder looks really great; I'm looking forward to porting over a lot of Matlab code... Cheers, --Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
