problem while trying to install CVXOPT

[Dan Coster]

Hi all,

I am having a problem while trying to install CVXOPT.

I'm getting the following Error message during the pip installation:
 
c:\users\user\appdata\local\temp\pycharm-packaging1.tmp\cvxopt\src\c\cvxopt.h(31) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'complex.h': No such file or directory error: command C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC\Bin\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2
 

I searched for a solution all over the web but without success, for example the following posts had no response:

- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37073787/problems-by-installing-cvxopt

- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37126313/installing-cvxopt

 

I would really appreciate any kind of help!
 

Regards,

Dan

The complex number arithmetic in CVXOPT requires a C99 compliant compiler (Microsoft C++ 12.0 or later). As an alternative, you can download (unofficial) binaries for Windows here:
