Hi all,

I've got yet new issues that I did not anticipate: on Windows 7 with
Clozure CL 1.9 loading clsql-sqlite3 fails due to the missing .dll:

| The program can't start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your
| computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

If this error is ignored, the next one pops up:

| clsql_uffi.lib is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains
| an error.

As far as I understand the vcr71 library is a deliverable component
of the Visual Studio that the clsql_uffi.dll relies on.

Can it be that including MSVCR71.dll into the CLSQL distro could fix
this problem?

Did anybody have this problem already? What is the best way to solve
it?

Thanks,
Victor
