re-booting sets the environment variable guile needs.

I've encountered a similar problem with Denemo 0.8.0FIX (which I downloaded from http://www.rshann.plus.com/denemo.exe as linked from the Denemo homepage.)  I had a command-line window open before running the Denemo installer.  When attempting to chdir into my Denemo installation's bin/ directory to run denemo.exe, I first received a GTK+ pop-up that said "some icons will not display correctly, but program will work ok."  And then Denemo dumped the following text to the console before erroring out:

* (denemo.exe:1660): WARNING *: Could not load specified pixbuf:
Unable to load image-loading module: C:/gtkbundle/gtk+-bundle-2.12.10/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.dll: The specified module could not be found.

[snip 4 identical messages]
Calling scm boot guile with 1 and 003E4AF8
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load path

A web search showed that this error message was actually coming from LilyPond.  It seems that the Denemo installer sets a Windows user variable called GUILE_LOAD_PATH to (the absolute path to) your Denemo installation's share/guile directory.  As soon as I set this variable by hand in the command-line window, Denemo started up successfully, though it still displayed the pop-up.

I'm sure that I wouldn't have noticed the problem if I had double-clicked on a Denemo icon on the desktop.  But still, it would be nice if Denemo did not depend on this environment variable.

This is not a good forum for discussions (since I can't answer your questions without re-typing them out so you know what I am answering). I'll email your questions to the mailing list and reply there.

Hi again,
in the download area I noticed InstallDenemo.exe.sig.
What is .sig extension (also present for linux download files).
Is it an integrity verification code like checksum code?
How to use it?

Kind regards

Charlie

Hi Richard,
0.7.9 version (aug 2008) has been installed.
Where can I find a newer version?

dlls are in c:\windows\system\
Does a newer version of dlls exist in
c:\Program Files\Denemo\bin\
Do I have to compare both subdirectories to find the dll which is common, aftwdrs verify version date, and put the newer in ...\system\ subdirectory?

Must Lilypond have been already installed before Denemo or what? (Did not find explanations about how to install on winxp)

Do I have to look which PATH windows starts Lilypond? Windows uses dlls present in c:\windows\system\, does not it? I do not understand "putting Denemo .dlls" in that PATH?

Best regards

Charlie

The first warning message indicates that you do not have the up to date version of Denemo installed.
The shut down after starting will be due to windows finding a version of one of the dlls that is older than the ones shipped with Denemo. I think I recall seeing this caused by the LilyPond installation (which sets the PATH environment variable).
I can't quite remember the fix - putting the Denemo .dlls in the path perhaps.

Hi,

Maybe this looks to be trivial...

Denemo has been installed succesfully (acording to installation wizzard) on Win Xp home edition.
Running denemo gives a window "saying"

"some icons will not display properly, but program will run ok"
click on "close"key;
Afterwards another window (white filled) pops on with "Denemo - (Untitled)" in the upper left corner, together with an error warning window "denemo.exe" as encountered a problem and has to shut down etc...

Lilypond was already installed.

Can somebody help?

Thanks in advance

Charlie
