Thanks Matt, this was helpful in directing my troubleshooting.<br><br>Somehow, the problem seemed to resolve itself today without my intervention.  So I&#39;m again stumped, but I&#39;m stumped with a perfectly functional version of Demter again.  Maybe recent Java updates changed something, or some other software update I&#39;m too lazy to track down ...<br>
<br>So, trouble issue resolved, as mysteriously as it began.  Gremlins, clearly.<br><br>-Jason<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 31, 2012 at 1:24 PM, Matt Newville <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:newville@cars.uchicago.edu" target="_blank">newville@cars.uchicago.edu</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Ifeffit installation?<br>
<br>
For what it&#39;s worth, Ifeffit has been built with MinGW for awhile now.<br>
 Still, as you suggest, a recent install of MSVC2008 might be causing<br>
the conflict.  You might try grabbing the MS*71.dll files from the<br>
older Ifeffit installation and making sure they are put somewhere<br>
early in the path when running strawberry perl.<br>
<br>
As far as I can tell, Bruce built the file<br>
C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/auto/Ifeffit/Ifeffit.dll separately from<br>
ifeffit_12.dll, (probably) also with MinGW, but in a way that depends<br>
on the ifeffit_12.dll (I don&#39;t see any other obvious dlls around). I<br>
don&#39;t know what dlls this Ifeffit.dll will try to load, but that is<br>
probably what is causing the trouble.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
