Where did you see this list? It is probably very outdated. Cactus (and the Einstein Toolkit) run virtually everywhere. I would not be surprised if someone ran it on an Iphone or a Blackberry or on Android, but I don't recall reading about this yet.

Hi Erik,

OK, I saw the list of supported architectures and noticed it contains
IA64 but not AMD64 if I read it correctly.

I'll investigate and see if I can get more debug for you.  In the
meantime I have a 32-bit machine to run on so I can study the examples
as well.

Cheers,

Ian.
