DLL load failed

[nraw]

Hey there,

trying to install spaCy the Anaconda way: $ conda config --add channels spacy $ conda install spacy $ python -m spacy.en.download all

The third option fails with error: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I'm running a python 2.7 64-bit build on 64-bit windows.

Any clues? Thanks!

Best regards, nraw

Hey there again.

I've now tried it with a 32-bit build on 32-bit Windows and the error is the same. Am I missing something?

[nraw]

"Unfortunately we don't currently support Windows." - sad times.

[honnibal]

We're actually very close to supporting Windows. We've worked with a contractor to get the project building, and I thought we had the 32 bit working.

@henningpeters , is there a conda issue?

[nraw]

So I tried sticking with win32 and this is the error I get if I try to go via the pip install route.

Also, thanks a lot for the reply honnibal :+1:

[henningpeters]

for your pip issue: try downloading/installing stdint.h from here: http://msinttypes.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/stdint.h - looks MS didn't include it in some of their MSVC versions. More details: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/126279/c99-stdint-h-header-and-ms-visual-studio

Will look into the conda builds

[maxirmx]

Please read this file: https://github.com/honnibal/spaCy/blob/master/README-MSVC.txt Win32 will compile but most likely there will be not enough memory.

If you still experience problems with build I will be happy to help

I successfully downloaded and installed spacy on windows but when I tried to load the English corpus I get an error after I typed python -m spacy.en.download all The error message is the following DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

[henningpeters]

@jaridi-abdel It looks as if spaCy didn't get installed correctly, let's try to find the problem...

Can you please provide a bit of information on which Windows you are on, which Python version you are using, how you installed spaCy (via pip, source, conda?) and the output of pip list (if pip) or conda list(if conda)?

In case you installed via pip install spacy, did the installation complete successfully? Also, do you have Visual Studio installed? spaCy ships as source distribution and hence requires a compiler to be installed. Having said that we are thinking about shipping binaries for Windows.

Thank you for your help

[honnibal]

Ah. Thanks for the details!

We've not yet quite mastered the conda build process, so we're not pushing releases to conda ourselves. Instead we're pushing our releases to pip, and they're getting updated on conda sometime afterwards.

So: you're using a slightly outdated version of spaCy, that doesn't support Windows.

The good news is that conda still supports pip install. So from within your current environment, you should be able to do "pip install --upgrade spacy". This should get you v0.100.2 (the latest), which supports Windows.

That's a well-known problem, some older versions of Visual Studio forgot to ship this file. Here is a good explanation: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/126279/c99-stdint-h-header-and-ms-visual-studio. I thought about whether we can/should should ship the file, but we haven't made the decision about it.

[jaridi-abdel]

Thank you Mr. Peters, spacy is running like a song after I added the stdint.h file to the include folder of VCforPython27 compiler.

Cheers

[henningpeters]

We just published the spaCy release (0.100.5) on our conda channel at https://anaconda.org/spacy/spacy for Linux, OSX and Windows. Please install with conda install -c spacy spacy. When installing via conda you wouldn't need to have the stdint.h in place as conda ships binary packages and hence skips the compilation step.

[henningpeters]

Update: We are now shipping stdint.h together with spaCy, see https://github.com/spacy-io/spaCy/tree/master/include/msvc9.
