I tried to use mecab-python on Windows, but it causes RuntmeError (Python version is 3.4).

>>> import MeCab
>>> t = MeCab.Tagger()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "D:\Develop\Source\mecab\mecab\python\MeCab.py", line 433, in __init__
    this = _MeCab.new_Tagger(*args)
RuntimeError
  • I used the code on GitHub master base (mecab/mecab/python).
  • I attached the fix for windows (refer this site etc).
  • I tried to regenerate binding code by swig (used swig 3.0.7)

Below is the patched branch that I used.

icoxfog417/mecab#windows

But any fix does not work (in addition, It works fine on 32bit).

Maybe you have not yet installed the dictionary mecab-ipadic-2.7.0-XXXX.tar.gz?

The dictionary is already installed (as I described above, same setup works fine on 32bit environment).

But because of bash on Windows feature is released recently, I'm not in trouble by this issue.

Download , mecab-ipdaic-neologd dictionary

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/neologd/mecab-ipadic-neologd.git
cd mecab-ipadic-neologd
./bin/install-mecab-ipadic-neologd -n
echo mecab-config --dicdir"/mecab-ipadic-neologd"

/usr/local/lib/mecab/dic/mecab-ipadic-neologd

Other than this is confirmation of not proper path of dictionary.
mecab -D
Here is my error , the dict is in another path.
Error: param.cpp(69) [ifs] no such file or directory: /usr/local/lib/mecab/dic/ipadic/dicrc

But this is working :
echo "8月3日に放送された「中居正広の金曜日のスマイルたちへ」(TBS系)で、1日たった5分でぽっこりおなかを解消するというダイエット方法を紹介。キンタロー。のダイエットにも密着。" | mecab -d /usr/local/lib/mecab/dic/mecab-ipadic-neologd

Reason is , the path is working.
So Final step :
locate mecabrc
dicdir = /usr/local/lib/mecab/dic/mecab-ipadic-neologd

To every file found, replace the value of dicdir.
