Hi Matthijs,
there has been one report of a similar problem with SPLAT in the Puana
build. I'd hoped this latest release would fix that, but as I don't have
access to an Intel 10.5 machine to check things, that was just a hope.
In the terminal where you run up SPLAT are there any messages? If so
could you post them as well.
BTW, this should be OK under Linux.
Peter.
