Hi All,
I can't be "authoritative", but we run spm2 & spm5 on Matlab7 & Matlab
2006a on SuSE10.1/Pentium, SuSE10.1/Athlon64 and Solaris9/SPARC. As Bas
said, we had to recompile the spm2 binaries for the Athlon64. I haven't
thoroughly tested all of it, but so far no problems big enough to stick
in my memory.
HTH,
Mark
