tables package not working (Could not load "hdf5dll.dll") #74

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. I installed WinPython 2.7.5.1 in c:\WinPython\WinPython-32bit-2.7.5.1\ 
(WinXP)
2. Started c:\WinPython\WinPython-32bit-2.7.5.1\WinPython Interpreter.exe
3. Tried to import tables:

Python 2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:43:36) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tables
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "c:\WinPython\WinPython-32bit-2.7.5.1\python-2.7.5\lib\site-packages\tables\__init__.py", line 65, in <module>
    'Could not load "hdf5dll.dll", please ensure'
ImportError: Could not load "hdf5dll.dll", please ensure that it can be found 
in the system path
>>>

It looks like there is a path missing?

>>> import os
>>> print(os.environ["PATH"])
C:\WinPython\WinPython-32bit-2.7.5.1\python-2.7.5\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4;C:\Win
Python\WinPython-32bit-2.7.5.1\python-2.7.5\;C:\WinPython\WinPython-32bit-2.7.5.

>>>

Or is it a problem with tables 3.0.0rc3?

The file hdf5dll.dll is definitely there:
c:\WinPython\WinPython-32bit-2.7.5.1\python-2.7.5\Lib\site-packages\h5py\hdf5dll
.dll

Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Marcel

The HDF5 DLLs included with PyTables are not compatible with Windows XP.
