Re: [Matplotlib-users] Issue with Matplotlib on Win32 and ImportError: DLL load failed

 a major version change of Windows NT).
Also, I don't think that M$ permit redistribution of the runtime by
just copying a DLL across, so I have asked students to try installing
the .NET framework 1.1.

Thanks again for your help.  Do you think that testing for the version
of the Visual C redistributable is required during an install of
matplotlib (and/or possibly at runtime).

Thanks again for your assistance - this has been most appreciated.

Regards,

Patrick

Hi again,

Just to update you, copying across the Visual C/C++ runtime library
(MSVCP71.DLL) from a Windows XP SP3 install to
C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib on Windows Server 2008 does
in fact appear to work correctly with matplotlib after all.

Regards,

Patrick

[Matplotlib-users] Issue with Matplotlib on Win32 and ImportError: DLL load failed

2009-08-06 Thread Patrick Rynhart 
Dear all,

We are using Python 2.5, matplotlib and NumPy on Windows to assist
with the teaching for an undergraduate paper.  On a small number of
installations, an error attempting to load some required DLL's is
being reported (on approx 3 machines out of approximately 60).  There
doesn't appear to be any pattern with this - we can seen it on one
install of Windows Server 2008 and also on various versions of Windows
XP (Professional and Home).

Symptoms are, after a from pylab import *, the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File C:\Documents and
Settings\Jo\workspace\test\src\root\nested\__init__.py, line 2, in
module
from pylab import *
  File C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pylab.py, line 1, in module
from matplotlib.pylab import *
  File C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pylab.py, line 206,
in module
from matplotlib import mpl  # pulls in most modules
  File C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl.py, line 1, in module
from matplotlib import artist
  File C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\artist.py, line 4, in module
from transforms import Bbox, IdentityTransform, TransformedBbox,
TransformedPath
  File C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\transforms.py, line
34, in module
from matplotlib._path import affine_transform
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

The following versions of software are being used on all installs:

jre-6u14-windows-i586.exe, matplotlib-0.98.3.win32-py2.5.exe,
numpy-1.3.0-win32-superpack-python2.5.exe and python-2.5.4.msi

Some assistance attempting to debug this issue would be appreciated (I
have an install where this fault has been observed along with another
that works fine).  (Note: The issue persists when the interactive user
has admin rights.)

Regards,

Patrick
