Dear Riccardo,

I uninstalled Anaconda2 and reinstalled it for me alone (and not for all users as I did initially) and the installation of rdkit completed without any trouble.
I was then able to import Chem from rdkit.

Thank you for suggesting that this global/personal installation of Anaconda
might be a source a trouble.

Best regards,

Jean-Marc

    Hi,

    I am currently attempting to install RDKit after a (forced)
    re-installation of windows 7.
    I decided to use Anaconda Python and to get RDKit using the conda
    installer :

    C:\Users\jmn>conda create -y -c https://conda.anaconda.org/rdkit
    <https://conda.anaconda.org/rdkit> -n my-rdkit-env rdkit >
    rdkit_log.txt 2>&1
    The -y flag was added in order to perform a non-interactive
    (silent) installation.
    Download was OK. Installation was not.
    The edited version of the rdkit_log.txt file (attached) reflects
    the messages in the console window
    when conda is used in interactive mode.

    It seems that this "lock" problem has to do with conda but not
    with RDKit.


it definitely looks like a conda issue, but the message about the failed lock creation should be a warning, and the actual error at the end of the log file you sent seems to originate from a unicode issue (this kind of issues could be more easily explained if there were any accented letters in the user names or filesystem paths, but this doesn't seem to be the case)..

In general, installing Anaconda on windows for personal use (under the user's profile directory), doesn't require any admin rights and is often said to work more reliably, but in this case it doesn't seem to be a matter of privileges.

Did you try executing any other simple conda command, just to check that the installation is fully functional (something like 'conda list' or 'conda search pandas')?

I would also try to execute a 'conda update conda' (will require admin privileges given the current setup), just to make sure that the problem is still present in the latest version and not already fixed.
Best,
Riccardo


    Has someone already experienced such a problem, and possibly
    found a workaround?

    Best regards,

    Jean-Marc
