nimforum mirror - nim "could not load: pcre.dll" (0.11 64b)

Hi all.

I believe this project was working in v0.10. Now it compiles correctly but it bombs with the above message :/

Putting pcre.dll from the bin folder alongside the .exe doesn't help. The PATH includes the bin folder.

This is (obviously) on W8.1.

Must be something very basic I missed.

First off, what project? As far as I know, the Nim compiler doesn't depend on pcre.

Your problem is likely due to mixing a 32- or 64-bit pcre dll with a 64- or 32- bit program. A 64-bit program cannot normally load 32-bit dll's, and vice-versa.

64 vs 32 bit problem?

nimbie (orginal) [2015-05-04T21:54:11+02:00] view original

Thanks. Possibly that's it..

So, I tried uninstalling then reinstalling, 0.11.2, with both the 32b and 64b versions.

Aporia now bombs (in both) with an "unhandled exception: the system could not find the file specified".

I checked all install options (MingW, Aporia, etc) and clicked through to the end.

I uninstalled then reinstalled 0.10.2 (by modifying the 11.2 download link), now it all works again.

Thanks.

Well we ship the 32 bit DLLs also in the 64bit build as these are hard to come by. I dunno why the 32bit version of Nim 0.11.2 doesn't work for you, makes no sense.

I just installed the Nim port of docopt ( https://github.com/docopt/docopt.nim ) with the same install as you, and it triggers the same error:

could not load: pcre.dll

when I import it. Otherwise it's fine.

Any ideas ?

I just had that problem on amd64 win7 machine trying to run an exe that previously worked (was compiled and ran OK before updating Nim to 0.11.2)

I downloaded a new pcre binary (pcre3.dll) from the internet, copied it to the nim\bin directory, renamed as pcre.dll and now the compiled nim exe runs.

Can you point me to the dll you downloaded then ? I can't get it to work.

Varriount (orginal) [2015-05-30T02:44:45+02:00] view original

If you can wait just a bit, I can upload a set of PCRE dll's.

Here is an archive with the most common dlls required by various Nim components. I compiled the pcre and sqlite dlls myself, and downloaded the OpenSSL and PDCurses dlls from their respective sites. (Of course, if you don't want to trust some random stranger handing out dlls, you could always compile them yourself. They aren't particularly hard to compile)

It works great, thanks.

@liulun: Is pcre.dll on your system? How did you install Nim? Via the installer?

liulun (orginal) [2015-08-10T12:29:53+02:00] view original

Yes! I use nim installer to install nim And, pcre.dll is here D:Nimbin

Angluca (orginal) [2015-08-10T17:44:32+02:00] view original

The issue from MSVCR100.DLL, It's not about pcre.dll

Just now, liulun has solved issue.
