Hi folks,
When I excitedly grabbed slither the day that Ronn announced it was now free, I couldn't get it to work b/c I was not running IDL 8.3. Well, I finally got to upgrade, so now I'm running IDL 8.3 on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine, but Slither still fails :(
This time I at least get an error message though! It's telling me it cannot find the Slither dll in the dlm directory. Except that the dll is in there :( Could this be some sort of issue with the fact that Windows now goes out of its way to keep you from reading stuff in the Program Files directory?
Any help appreciated!
Jeff

Try:
IDL> print, !dlm_path
And make sure it is looking in the correct IDL 8.3 directory. Maybe you set the DLM_PATH at some point in the past?

Hi Chris,
Been busy for the past month so just getting back to this.
Unfortunately, checking !dlm_path was the first thing I checked (mostly b/c, well, it's the only thing i knew to do that might actually help!). That path is set correctly. Got any other ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Jeff

Did you try the Anaconda distribution? That worked flawlessly for me on both Win7 and MacOS X.
