Windows 10 install problem
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2018 8:04 pm
I downloaded and installed NEURON 7.6.2. master (f5a1284) under Windows 10. This is a new installation - NEURON has not been loaded/run on this machine before.
I have set (and checked) paths according to the instructions.
Python is alive and well and discoverable from the Command Prompt:
====
Python 3.6.5 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Mar 29 2018, 13:32:41) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Double-clicking the nrngui icon on Start menu gives the following error message:
=====
cygpath: unknown option -- U
Try `cygpath --help' for more information.

Could not load libnrnpython-3

0 C:\nrn\bin\nrniv.exe: can't open C:/nrn/mingw/lib/hoc/nrngui.hoc

This is unsurprising in the sense that the file nrngui.hoc does not exist at that location. Indeed, that location does not exist - C:/nrn/mingw/ does not have a /lib subdirectory. The correct path would appear to be C:/nrn/lib/hoc/nrngui.hoc. I tried moving /lib from /nrn to /mingw, but then it fails to start (a window flashes momentarily, but vanishes without an error message).
I guess I need to edit a path(s) somewhere?
NB (Most of) the demos run, or appear to, if I launch them from nrn/demo.
Thanks!
