NumPy library ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found
dll, importerror, numpy, python, visual-studio
Solution
I encountered the same problem with VSCode, and I resolved it by adding the following path to the system environment. After that restart VSCode and everything is OK.
`C:\Users\<Your user name>\Anaconda3\Library\bin`
If the anaconda was not installed in the default directory, please find your own `Anaconda3\Library\bin`.
Problem
I'm learning python using Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10. When I'm trying to import NumPy library into my code, this error appears. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, looking for `libiomp5md.dll` per instruction in ImportError: DLL load failed when importing Numpy installed in conda virtual environment but to no prevail. ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\__init__.py", line 16, in <module> from . import multiarray ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found. During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\adm\documents\visual studio 2017\Projects\Web Scraping\Web Scraping\Web_Scraping.py", line 17, in <module> import numpy File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 142, in <module> from . import add_newdocs File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\numpy\add_newdocs.py", line 13, in <module> from numpy.lib import add_newdoc File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\__init__.py", line 8, in <module> from .type_check import * File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\type_check.py", line 11, in <module> import numpy.core.numeric as _nx File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\__init__.py", line 26, in <module> raise ImportError(msg) ImportError: Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed. Most likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy. If you're working with a numpy git repo, try `git clean -xdf` (removes all files not under version control). Otherwise reinstall numpy. Original error was: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found. ```
