Hi,

I have installed nfltk : fltk for Nim using the command:


nimble install fltk

which seems to work:

    Answer:    Success: fltk installed successfully.

But a mere attempt to import the corresponding module results in a error message:


import fltk as fl

gives:


 Error: cannot open file: fltk

Are you trying to run that code with the import with "nimble run" or "nimble build"? If so, you'll need to add "fltk" to requirements in your .nimble file

Seems like the module is really outdated and it has an incorrect package structure :)

Error: cannot open file: fltk

I assume it is windows?

Is your command something like "nim c myfltkfile.nim"

Unfortunately I can not help, but I have seen this type of error messages already:

So please follow that advice. That is not doing nimble install as root/admin, or following PMunch advice to fix the path. Can you install nimble packages at all?

outdated

Then nimble should really complain?

And what do you think about

https://github.com/StefanSalewski/gintro/issues/72#issuecomment-658525973

Is root/admin a problem for nimble install?

I thin @Yardanico is right, I was built on one of the earliest versions of Nim and the .nible file might be buggy. No problem, I'll use NiGui instead: It works and has got some good examples.

Thanks!

I was using the mingw64 shell under Windows 10 (not Linux)... so it does not apply
