[GLE-general] GLE on 64-bit Windows

[Les B. <le...@le...>]

Hi, all,

Is there any way to get gle to play nicely with 64-bit Windows? After
struggling with a gradually-declining WinXP 32-bit box for some years,
I've built myself a new super-duper machine with lots of RAM and 64-bit
Windows 7. I've spent two days installing all my development tools and
source code, and near the end I've struck a problem with gle - I've
installed the 64-bit versions of Ghostscript, gsview, LatTeX (Miktex
2.9) and other tools, but gle wants to find gsdll32.dll (and probably
other files) that have been replaced with 64-bit versions like gsdll64.exe.

Unfortunately, even with "Manually Locate" pointing to the correct file,
I get

Location: 'C:/Program Files/gs/gs9.07/bin/gsdll64.dll'.
GhostScript not found: 'Code #193'.

In any case, I'm not sure if it's even possible to thunk from a 32-bit
application to a 64-bit DLL. Is the only fix going to be to install the
x86 versions of everything (or at least, gsdll32.dll)?

This is a show-stopper for me, as my simulations output .gle and .csv
files, and I rely on gle to turn them into graphics files for
incorporation into my thesis (and that whistling sound you can hear is
the rapidly-approaching deadline for said thesis ;) ).

Best,

--- Les
