Unanswered question This question has not been answered yet. I need to create a matched control group for my research and so I'm trying to set up fuzzy, but I'm encountering some problems. I've tried searching for answers here but they all don't help much. Whenever I put in a python command like BEGIN PROGRAM. import fuzzy END PROGRAM. I get: >Error # 6887. Command name: BEGIN PROGRAM >External program failed during initialization. >Execution of this command stops. Additional error message: Load Python library failed. >Error # 6887. Command name: BEGIN PROGRAM >External program failed during initialization. I understand that there seems to be a problem with python connecting to my spss. I've tried reinstalling python a couple times now, but it doesnt help. The versions of the programs I'm using are: SPSS 19.0.0 Python 2.6 (+ python essentials) R 2.10.1 (+ r essentials) SciPy 0.10.0b2 NumPy 1.6.1 any suggestions how to fix this?

If so, run the Python Essentials install by right clicking on the setup exe and choosing Run As Administrator. FUZZY does not use the R or scipy and numpy libraries. BTW, when you test the FUZZY import, you need to specify it in UPPERCASE. begin program. import FUZZY end program. That won't matter until you get the core programmability install to work. (When you run the FUZZY syntax, case does not matter for the command, but variable names are case sensitive.)

R essentials 64-bit 32-bit 64 32 6887 Technote (troubleshooting) Problem(Abstract) After apparent successful installation of the R Essentials for Statsitics 21 32-bit onto a Windows 64-bit environment the error 6887 is received when attempting to run an R program. Symptom Unable to run R programs in Statistics. Attempting to do so generates the following error: >Error # 6887. Command name: BEGIN PROGRAM >External program failed during initialization. >Execution of this command stops. The spss package could not be loaded. https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=393928 Please make sure that Essentials for R has been successfully installed. Cause The installer for the R Essentials 32-bit is itself a 32-bit application. In a Windows 64-bit environment most 32-bit programs are invisibly redirected to to the "Program Files (x86)" folder when they attempt to access the "Program Files" folder in most instances. The installer attempts as part http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21628209 of its normal procedure to install a number of files into the R installation folder, which by default on a 64-bit system will be inside the "Program Files" folder. Due to the Windows redirection it instead places these files into the "Program Files (x86)" folder. Diagnosing the problem If this problem is encountered you can verify it by checking to see if a duplicate R install folder exists inside "Program Files (x86)". On a 64-bit system you should normally only have the R install folder inside "Program Files". So in summary if this article is correct for your situation the following will be true: - You will be using a 64-bit version of Windows - You have install a 64-bit version of R into the "Program Folders" location (which is its default) - You have chosen to use a 32-bit version of Statistics 21 - After installing R Essentials you should see a duplicate of your R install folder inside the "Program Files (x86)" folder. (Example you will have both "\Program Files\R" and "Program Files (x86)\R"

by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Hi Michiko, It looks like there is an error in the installation of Python and/or the SPSS Python Plugin. You should try to uninstall the SPSS Python Plugin and Python, then re-install Python from this file: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6/python-2.6.msi Then download the SPSS Python Plugin (assuming you are using Windows 32-bit): https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/files/app/person/270002VCWN/file/b25b2e4f-6287-47f7-9936-fd652bb8debe Now, make sure to open the program using the "Run as Administrator" option in Windows in order to install everything correctly. Once you do this, try CEM again. If you still get errors, please let us know. Cheers, matt. On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 3:56 PM, Michiko Otsuki Clutter
