Hi Bruce, Interestingly, when I reinstall demeter 0.9.19, I get a different error (but the same effect, cannot open athena/artemis). this time it reads "The procedure entry point _gxx_personality_v0 could not be located in the dynamic link library libstdc++-6.dll" but either way, commenting out line 23 makes no apparent difference. sorry! georges On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 4:45 PM, Bruce Ravel wrote:

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
