This is a repeat of an earlier email. Apologies. I should have included the information: MacPorts base version 2.7.1 installed MacOs 11.5.2 MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
I get the error message in the Subject Line. So I looked at the discussion at https://github.com/openslide/openslide-python/issues/27 and carefully followed all the advice given there, but the error persists. bgilbert locked the topic on github in December 2019, saying that the problem was resolved. He also said: "This is likely to be a problem with your installation, so I'll close. If you're still seeing this with OpenSlide installed in your library search path, please reopen.” I don’t know how one can reopen a locked topic on Github. Perhaps this will do the trick. I thought the problem was that I installed openslide-python first, and openslide later, but I tried sudo port install openslide first, and that didn’t work. Here is the command I gave to macports, and the response from macports.This seems to mean that openslide file(s) are installed, but is there a way of checking further, in particular checking that there is nothing wrong with the files? From the discussion on Github, it seems that the problem may be with Macports. I could (very reluctantly) delete my Macports installation and reinstate it. Does anyone have some wise advice? $ port search openslide openslide @3.4.1_1 (graphics) A C library for reading virtual slides. py-openslide @1.1.2_1 (python, graphics) Python binding for the OpenSlide library. py27-openslide @1.1.2_1 (python, graphics) Python binding for the OpenSlide library. py34-openslide @1.1.2_1 (python, graphics) Obsolete port, replaced by py35-openslide py35-openslide @1.1.2_1 (python, graphics) Python binding for the OpenSlide library. py36-openslide @1.1.2_1 (python, graphics) Python binding for the OpenSlide library. py37-openslide @1.1.2_1 (python, graphics) Python binding for the OpenSlide library. py38-openslide @1.1.2_1 (python, graphics) Python binding for the OpenSlide library. py39-openslide @1.1.2_1 (python, graphics) Python binding for the OpenSlide library.
