Cannot import name 'RVector3' form 'pygimli.core.core

[schaatz]

Problem description

When I import pygimli, it showed "cannot import name 'RVector3' form 'pygimli.core.core'".

Your environment

Operating system: Linux
Python version: 3.11.9
pyGIMLi version: 1.5.1
Way of installation:Conda package

Steps to reproduce

When I try to run a Python file, I encounter this error, "cannot import name 'RVector3' form 'pygimli.core.core'", but on my Windows system with the same Python and PyGIMLi versions, it doesn't throw an error.

Expected behavior

No wrong information

Actual behavior

cannot import name 'RVector3' form 'pygimli.core.core'

If possible, please add one or more labels to your issue, e.g. if you expect that your issue is rather a question than a problem with the code, please add the label "question".

I am having the same problem, but my output has earlier errors. I appreciate any help.

OS: macOS 14.5 (23F79)
Python: 3.11.9
PyGIMLi: pygimli-1.5.1
Installed using: conda

Here's the output.

I encountered a similar problem after installing pygimli-1.5.1 in a fresh environment on a Mac. To solve the problem I had to provide symbolic links in the lib folder of the environment.

More precisely:

Go to the folder where the libraries are:

cd /Users/xxx/miniconda3/envs/pg/lib

Create the following symbolic links

ln -s libcholmod.5.dylib libcholmod.3.dylib
ln -s libumfpack.6.dylib libumfpack.5.dylib

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Ralph

Obviously we have to change our conda recipies to make sure the runtime versions match the build versions.

We should also avoid the strange error message about RVector3 and provide an error message that links users back to the installation problems.

This solved it. Many thanks, Ralph @ruboerner !

Linkage might not be the solution as shown by #721.

Can you try explicitly specifying suitesparse versions?
UMFPACK 5 is probably related to suitesparse 6, so maybe adding suitesparse=6 to the install command?

Hello @siarw,

I am running into the exact issue. However I simply implemented the directions above AND my installation still outputs the error that you displayed. Did you do anything beyond initiating those two lines of code in the ./pg/lib/ directory?

Any insight would be appreciative...

Best,
Del
