George,

I think this may be a problem with the splashscreen.  (One that,
frustratingly, I don't see on any of my Windows computers.  Grrr....)

Could you try an experiment for me?

Open the file C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dathena.bat and comment out
line 23, the one that says

  use Wx::Perl::SplashFast Demeter::Here->here.'UI/Athena/share/logo.jpg', 4000;

Comment it out with a # mark, like so:

#  use Wx::Perl::SplashFast Demeter::Here->here.'UI/Athena/share/logo.jpg', 4000;

Save it and try launching Athena again.

Let me know what happens.

Thanks,
B

Hi,

I'd like to report a bug in which I can't run any of the demeter
programs (athena, artemis, hephaestus) after updating to 0.9.19.

My computer is running windows 7

- I either install Demeter 0.9.19 without removing 0.9.18 (the installer
automatically uninstalls it anyways), or after removing 0.9.18 in
add/remove programs

- In either case I get an error message from perl.exe saying
"This program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing from
your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"

- i click ok and program closes

I can re-install 0.9.18 and it works fine, but no matter what i've tried
0.9.19 wont run for me.

I attached the logfile for artemis (identical to log file for athena)

thanks for your help,
georges
