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 Stack trace: Frame Function Args 00289BD8 6102796B (00289BD8, 00000000, 00000000, 00000000) 00289EC8 6102796B (6117EC60, 00008000, 00000000, 61180977) 0028AEF8 61004F1B (611A7FAC, 612488A4, 00460000, 00510000) End of stack trace 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

Hi Eve,
If you are unable to get python working - unfortunately I can't help with cygwin - you should be able to put a version of linux on a usb disk, boot from it, and install yt on the usb disk. This will noninvasively give you a full unix environment that the yt install script should have no problem handling. This will only work if you have a > 4 GB usb stick, anything smaller will probably not have enough space for linux and yt.
See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick for instructions on creating a bootable ubuntu USB stick.
Hope you find a good solution before the workshop!

Hi Eve.
I had to work on a windows laptop a few years ago, so I know your pain. Cygwin is a real headache - never seems to work. There's no real solution but to install your favorite linux somehow.
I recommend using a virtual machine and running ubuntu in that. I used vmware player before and I thought it worked great http://www.vmware.com/products/player/. This way you don't have to reboot and you can have access to your normal applications.
The running from USB solution is probably the simplest, and you could go all they way and make your system dual boot. That takes some time though.
Those are the three options as far as I know. The VM will be slower than the dual boot, but you can use windows in the background if you need that for another application. I'm not sure about the performance of the USB, but it's probably the easiest. Good luck!
Best, Casey

Hi Nathan and Casey,
I decided to be safe and use direct-booting from USB which seems to work great! My laptop is not very Linux-friendly so I was a bit hesitant about trying this method but the newest Ubuntu seems to get along well with the machine.
Casey, I saw your e-mail after I installed yt through USB but I'll have to look into using either vmware or installing directly on the machine if I run out of persistent space. USB method seems to be very slow upon booting and shut-down but otherwise no problem.
Thank you for the help! :)
Best Regards,
Eve
