Problem with mkl-service / NumPy installation

NicholasMarantz — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 19:36:34 GMT

I am trying to work with the reticulate and arcgisbinding packages in R (version 4.2.3), but am receiving the following error message when I try to import arcpy:

I'm not sure what the problem is, since numpy is already listed as installed in the ArcGIS Pro package manager. Please let me know how I can fix this issue. Thanks!

Hey! 👋🏼
This looks like a python issue and I too am not sure what's going on! The error looks related to this specific library: https://github.com/IntelPython/mkl-service

First I would remove the calls to arcgisbinding since that isnt necessary to connect to arpy. arcpy is a python library and using reticulate is a wya to call python from R.

Instead of `use_python()` can you use `use_conda()` and see if that changes anything?

One option that appears to work is to first import reticulate and arcpy, and then import arcgisbinding:

library(reticulate) use_python("C:/Program Files/ArcGIS/Pro/bin/Python/envs/arcgispro-py3") arcpy <- import("arcpy") library(arcgisbinding) arc.check_product()

This solves it. However, if I load any other libraries before running the first three lines, I get the following error: "Error: ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _arcgisscripting: The specified procedure could not be found."
