Error Message After Installing Package on Python 3.7.5 and Having MinGW on Path (OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application and 'XRotor' object has no attribute '_lib')

[marcosaantos]

I ran this line after successfully downloading the XRotor package.

from xrotor import XRotor
xr=XRotor()

I have downloaded all the pre-requisites (Python and MinGW as gcc and fortran compiler), but still get problems in running the code above, as is shown in the message below. Do you know what could be causing the error? I have Python 3.7.5 64-bit installed (I tried having its 32-bit version, but the XRotor package could not be downloaded with it).

Hi,

I am not the maintainer of this repository, but I run into a similar issue with another repository whose build process is similar to this one.

See my reply to issue #1, I think both of you have a similar problem.

If the installation finished correctly, the library should be compiled, but it might not be where the code expects so. You might need to look for it and update line 30 on xrotor.py.

Let me know how it goes!
