esys-escript

INSTALLED ON WINDOWS. ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found!

Asked by Mojtaba Tavakoli

Hi Everybody,

I created a new environment (with Python 3.7) in Anaconda installed on my Windows 10. Then I installed escript into this new environment using Anaconda Prompt console (I was not able to simply add the esys.escript package to the new environment via Anaconda).
Currently, I can see esys-escript package as an installed package in the new environment.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
I launch the Spyder (4.1.5) via Anaconda. I typed on the Spyder console:
  from esys.escript import *
But I got this error:
  ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I am trying to run some geophysical inversion codes.

Hi Mojtaba,

Sorry for the late reply.

You can manually set the path to the DLL file using the command:

set PATH=%CONDA_PREFIX%\lib;%PATH%

Can you please tell if if this resolves your issue?
