on windows: error compiling anonymous: could not load module libcurl

[haavardhvarnes]

Even though curl work perfectly from command line.

Any idea what's wrong?

Julia is looking for libcurl but cant seem to find it on your system. I havent tested on windows but is your Julia able to correctly find and load misc. modules? Im guessing the error comes from lines like this:

call( (:curl_easy_init, "libcurl"), Ptr{Uint8}, ())

Out of curiosity does this work for you?

ccall( (:clock, "libc"), Int32, ())

[pauladam]

also have you tried installing a windows copy of libcurl? http://curl.haxx.se/download.html

[haavardhvarnes]

Neither calls work.

I have downloaded CURL and it works in cmd-window from any folder (and thus is reachable from the path):

I would try specifically installing a windows version of libcurl from the curl site linked earlier. Notice this is not the same thing as the Curl client package.

I would really recommend checking out Requests.jl, we've been doing a much better job maintaining it - this library is basically deprecated.
