Simile Error - gdi.dll
Fri, 08/10/2010 - 00:25 — boltej
When running the 5.7 version of Simile, I am repeatedly getting the following error (e.g. when selecting the Edit->Copy Drawing") message:
couldn't load library "C:/Program Files (x86)/Simile/System/lib/Extras/gdi.dll": this library or a dependent library could not be found in library path
couldn't load library "C:/Program Files (x86)/Simile/System/lib/Extras/gdi.dll": this library or a dependent library could not be found in library path
while executing
"load {C:/Program Files (x86)/Simile/System/lib/Extras/gdi.dll}"
("package ifneeded gdi 0.9.9.10" script)
invoked from within
"package require gdi"
(procedure "CopyCanvasToWindowsClipboard" line 5)
invoked from within
"CopyCanvasToWindowsClipboard .mswindow00001.canvas 0"
(menu invoke)
This occurs on both Vista and Win7. I assume it is because gdi.dll is a system file and the installer won't allow it to be installed in a non-system directory. Any suggestions?
Thanks...

It does not appear to a to be a problem with Windows 7, as copying diagrams works fine on my Windows 7 installation, using the same installation diectories as you have.
If you look in "C:/Program Files (x86)/Simile/System/lib/Extras/" can you find gdi.dll?

This was a problem with the original version of Simile 5.7 for Windows -- we failed to recompile the printer package for the new version of TclTk. It has since been patched so it works OK.
