[Tutor] cvxopt install problem

[Michael Crawford]

I tried installing this about 6 months ago on windows and gave up after
about a day and just made a ubuntu vm  to install it.  (you can install via
apt-get in ubuntu)
if you are ok with reverting to 32bit anyway, I assume you aren't doing any
huge number crunching so you might have a look at that as a quick option.
