[gdal-dev] Running GDAL through Python >= 3.8 on Anaconda - DLL load failed

[Joaquim Manuel Freire Luís]

Hi,

I have a certain horror to python (that I’m trying to fight) a bit of it is because I never manage to really use it.

I had and older Miniconda (Mini => 18 GB !!!!) that was so big that I removed and installed a new one in which I tried Pedro’s case and got exactly the same errors.

I then run a dependency analysis from within the conda shell and found two weird things


  1.  The gdal dll depends on a xerces-c_3_2.dll locate at C:\WINDOWS\system32. This seems quite dangerous (for dependency sakes) but seems to not cause any problem in this case.
  2.  There is a “red mark” on the opj_encoder_set_extra_options symbol and this alone can explain the “ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _gdal: The specified procedure could not be found.”

Hopefully the screen capture is small enough to get through.

Joaquim

ok, so now you have to inspect the PATH and fix it so that the gdal DLL and its dependencies are in it. But all of this sounds like there's something weird in your environment. Perhaps a mix of GDAL versions?

Can you change in __init__.py

                try:
                    os.add_dll_directory(p)
                except FileNotFoundError:
                    continue



to

                try:
                    os.add_dll_directory(p)
                except (FileNotFoundError, OSError):
                    continue

Yes, here is the output:
