(installation..) what is wrong?

Hi everyone! I'm a new user of Ogre and Python.

I downloaded all the necessary files and install it (python, pyogre, vcredits, media) I check the instructions about the installation and ALL the files are in the right place.

But, when I try to run (F5) , for example, Camera Tracking Demo, I received the following error:

..\src\OgreDynLib.cpp(82): ogre error 9: Could not load dynamic library .\RenderSystem_Direct3D9. System Error: The specified module could not be found.

I check and in the "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pyogre\" folder exsist the "RenderSystem_Direct3D9.dll" !!! ...so what is wrong?

I don't think that I have to install also the Ogre source?!

Pls, help!!

P.S. with the python, I will never compile the file in a exe? right? ..I hope yes.

Thanks,
Luciano

No you don't have to install the Ogre source or compile to an exe. If your using idle, I'm assuming you are, you may run into problems:

Have you tried running from a dos/command prompt:

cd c:\Python24\pyogre\ogre_demos
set PATH=c:\Python24;%PATH%
python CameraTrackingDemo.py


or directly from Windows Explorer - browse to c:\Python24\pyogre\ogre_demos and double click CameraTrackingDemo.py

The DirectX 9.0c SDK doesn't include some of the dll's for some reason. You can find them at http://www.threelights.de/index.php?pag ... _files.php

You should probably download and install the whole kit, though I think the one that's missing is probably d3dx9_27.dll

Thanx mad hatter, as you specified, it was the d3dx9_27.dll file. I only downloaded this specific one (not the whole packege) and apparently this is sufficient. After installing it pyOgre works like a charm!!!

Greetings.

This is my first build of OGRE. I downloaded the source for OGRE 1.6RC1.

I am able to build OGRE 1.6RC1, but cannot run any of the demo exes in \common\bin\release without getting a similar error:

OGRE EXCEPTION (7:InternalErrorException):Could not load dynamic library .\RenderSystem_Direct3D9. System Error: The specified module could not be found in DynLib::load at ..\src\OgreDynLib.cpp (line 80)

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 Express Edition with the matching dependencies OgreDependencies_VC8SP1_Eihort_20071227.zip installed.

I have also installed DirectX SDK for August 2008.

Does anyone see the problem?
