Hi Pierre,

I have been using Spyking Circus successfully since your last update in November of last year.  I installed it on another computer too and have gotten it to work there as well.

Now I am trying to install on a third computer and am running into issues. Please see the error message below:

(circus_test6) PS C:\Users\CompAdmin>

This is from an installation using a .yaml of a working circus environment from my computer; we get a similar error when installing using the instructions on the Spyking Circus documentation page.

MPI is installed on the computer (which is Windows 7) and the version of mpi4py in the environment is 3.0.0

Please let us know if there is something we can try!
Thanks in advance,
Ashley

Hi Pierre,

Just wanted to see whether you saw the response from Mariela (she is my colleague and it is her computer that we are having trouble with).  Basically, we tried running

>> conda install -c intel mpi4py

 and we're still getting the same DLL error saying it can't find the mpi4py module.

Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the trouble,
Ashley
