[yt-users] yt on cygwin?

[Eve Lee]

Hello,

I've read that Windows does not support yt but I was wondering if it was 
in anyway possible under Cygwin. It seems as though I keep having 
trouble at "installing python" with the following error message:

       0 [main] python 4044 
C:\cygwin\home\Eve\yt\yt-unknown\src\Python-2.7.2\python.exe: *** fatal 
error - unable to remap 
\\?\C:\cygwin\home\Eve\yt\yt-unknown\src\Python-2.7.2\build\lib.cygwin-1.7.9-i686-2.7\grp.dll 
to same address as parent: 0x460000 != 0x510000

       1 [main] python 4592 fork: child 4044 - died waiting for dll 
loading, errno 11
error: Resource temporarily unavailable
make: *** [sharedmods] Error 1

I've tried rebaseall in ash as well as peflagsall followed by a reboot 
but nothing seems to work.

I've also tried compiling Python independently from yt install package 
which gave me the same error so I'm guessing something's wrong with the 
way Cygwin is set up on my computer or the way I'm trying to compile Python.

Is it possible to run yt under Cygwin anyway? If not, I'll have to use a 
workstation at my institution through ssh during the workshop...
For technical information, my OS is Windows 7 professional 64-bit.

I apologize for the rather late inquiry.

Best Regards,

Eve
