Could not load zlib1.dll

[Lecale]

Hi, I used nimble to install nimdata. Then I tried the most basic example suggested

import nimdata

echo DF.fromRange(0, 10).collect()

I got an error Could not load zlib1.dll
Is this by any chance a common and easily fixable error?

... oh! I just found that reinstallation via choosenim made this error go away.

I tried to reproduce the problem, but for me it just works. Does the following work for you?

import zip/zlib

I guess the problem is that this zip/zlib package requires to have zlib library installed as a system package. On my Ubuntu system for instance, I have /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 installed by the package zlib1g.

oh, and I didn't read that far ;)

I have the same problem on windows 10 with nim 1.6.0 installed with choosenim.

import zip/zlib
import nimdata

let df = DF.fromFile("xyz.txt")

compilation goes well.

output is : could not load: zlib1.dll

Me too.

I'm new to Nim and haven't used Windows for 12 years so complete noob here
