#3 0.6.11 won't run on 64-bit machines?

[Anonymous]

Hello and thank you for what you are doing.

I cannot run SIMP/STEP 0.6.11 on my desktop computer, a Pentium D 3.4GHz with 1GB RAM and GeForce 7300 256MB graphics card.

I can compile and install the library. However, trying one of the examples results in the program aborting.

I think the reason is linked to the fact that I'm using a 64-bit operating system.
Then, pieces of code (if there are) that rely on integers being 32-bit could arise issues.
Also, the Numeric library is known to have major problems with 64-bit machines, cf. chapter 4 of "Python scripting for computational science" by H.P. Langtangen (Springer, 3rd ed.)

I want to try version 0.7.0 as well, to see if /that/ runs; but could not understand where to get it :(

I attach a description of the machine and the screen text output for compiling, installing, and running the HPP example.
The example runs fine on my 5-years-old laptop, with same software versions but 32-bit operating system and architecture.

Best regards,

Silvio
