Hi Sergio:
The instructions on the StarCluster installation page (
http://star.mit.edu/cluster/docs/0.95.2/installation.html) seem to be pretty broken. That should get updated ... I'm certainly the WRONG guy for that job. :)
I use MobaXterm (
http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/) 'shell' environment on my Windows 7 boxes with GREAT success! While the Python plugin (available on the Plugins page) is only 2.6, it still works fine for a StarCluster install, and many other things as well. What a nice tool.
Good luck!
-Hugh
