Serial.ports() error
May 2nd, 2010, 8:39pm  
Just loaded Processing 1.1 on my new 64 bit Windows 7 machine. Tried to run the Simple Read program in the Serial Library examples. I get an "Error in side Serial.ports()". Here's the first part of the error message:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Shared\Processing\processing-1.1\libraries\serial\library\rxtxSerial.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform thrown while loading gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver

I tried to find more info in this forum, but nothing I read is quite like this. I deleted all RXTX items except the very latest that downloaded with my new version of Processing.

Can anyone tell me what might be going on and how I might fix it??

I believe the message tells exactly what is happening:
"Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform"

There have been others with this problem. A few hops from Google came up with this:

Or you could try to compile RXTX on your system since it is open source.

Went to the website you suggested, downloaded the 64 bit version, put it in to replace the version that came with my latest version of Processing, and - Shazam! - worked perfectly!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
