[gdal-dev] DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

[Ivan Lucena]

Hi Saad,

You probably have followed the steps to use Python2 on Anaconda3 [https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/switch-environment/]

But did you install GDAL on both environments independently? Can you run "gdalinfo --version" while "py2" is activated?

We all know that DLL error messages are very misleading, "DLL load failed" might be related to a third part library. But that message doesn't seem to be 32/64 platform.

Worse thing you can do is to uninstall Anaconda3 to start fresh. The installer is not going to work.

Regards,

Ivan

Hello,
I have Anaconda latest 64-bit built on Windows 10, and the current environment is running on Python 2.7. Now, I installed GDAL via conda install -c conda-forge gdal

But when the script calls GDAL, it throws the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "format_snow_params.py", line 20, in <module>
    from osgeo import gdal
  File "D:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\py2\lib\site-packages\osgeo\__init__.py", line 25, in <module>
    _gdal = swig_import_helper()
  File "D:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\py2\lib\site-packages\osgeo\__init__.py", line 21, in swig_import_helper
    _mod = imp.load_module('_gdal', fp, pathname, description)
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Please advise what to do?

Kind Regards,
Saad Baloch
