Problem installing on Win7 64 bit

[simonp0420]

Running Julia 0.3.7. I don't believe this is the same as #69 because 1) I have administrator privileges on this account and 2) I have closed and restarted Julia and performed a Pkg.build("ZMQ") several times with the same result. Here is the error message:

When I look in the directory c:\home\simonp\.julia\v0.3\WinRPM/deps\usr\x86_64-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw\bin I do see that there is a file named libzmq.dll there. Any help resolving this would be appreciated!

Try deleting everything named -copy.dll under JULIA_HOME then re-run Pkg.build("ZMQ") and see if that helps. OpenSUSE bumped the gcc cross-compilers to 5.1.0 recently.

[simonp0420]

There seems to be something wrong with the libzmq.dll installed in the .julia\v0.3\WinRPM\deps\usr\x86_64-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw\bin directory. If I cd into this directory and try to load the DLL, I get the following:

julia> dlopen(joinpath(pwd(),"libzmq.dll"))
ERROR:
 in dlopen at c.jl:19

If I replace this version with a version from an older package installation, it works:

julia> dlopen(joinpath(pwd(),"libzmq.dll"))
Ptr{Void} @0x000000002131b8c0

Let me know if there are any other tests or observations I could provide to help debug this issue.

[simonp0420]

Sorry, I didn't see @tkelman's response until after I just posted. I will try what you suggested.

[simonp0420]

Success! Thanks for the help, closing the issue.

[tkelman]

Glad that fixed it!
