How to resolve Pymongo Runtime Error R6034 in Houdini - mongodb

I'm working at a visual effects studio in which we use MongoDB/pymongo for our asset management. Our studio is using the SideFX software Houdini.
So far MongoDB has been a pleasure to work with in terms of programming, however whenever we connect to the MongoDB via pymongo from within Houdini, we're getting the following error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library - Runtime Error!
Program: C:\houdini\17.5.293\bin\houdini.exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
This error occurs everytime when we import pymongo for the very first time, i.e. in a Python shell within Houdini, which is using Python 2.7. Once we click 'OK' on the error popup (it appears twice after clicking OK for the first time), the error disappears and we're able to connect successfully to the database.
The SideFX support team suggested that pymongo wasn't compiled with Visual Studio 2017, which is the compiler SideFX is using for their software.
Now we've been trying to debug this for a while now to no avail. Here's a rundown of what we tried:
update Windows10 to the latest and greatest
updating pymongo from 3.5.1 to 3.9.0
launching Houdini from different builds (16.5, 17.0, 17.5), we get the error in every version.(We're launching a vanilla Houdini session without any 'PYTHONPATH' or 'PATH' environment variables set)
interestingly enough my colleague imported pymongo into Houdini successfully on his private laptop last night without any errors occurring which leads me to believe that the error might be related to our system settings possibly?
I would love to find out how to get rid of this error message because it is really messing with our current pipeline. Any suggestions/help is welcome and much appreciated.
Please let me know if you need any additional information in order to debug this matter.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Manu

Runtime error R6034 in embedded Python application
What happened is that we have a Python 2.7 install located at C:\Python27 which is being added as an environment variable 'path' in Windows.
Using the Process Explorer, I learned that this folder contains the file 'msvcr90.dll' which is conflicting with Houdini, since Houdini comes with its own Python installation that doesn't contain this dll file.
The solution is simple. When launching Houdini in a custom environment, strip the C:\Python27 from the 'path' environment variable so Houdini only fires up its own Python interpreter.

esp-idf build fails with "fatal error: esp_wifi.h: No such file or directory"

I am a student who has gotten a part time job embedded system programming. I am given a program the company uses, and asked to understand it. This is a working program. Therefore, the project can be built and flashed on ESP32 by the developers with no problem. So, the code and CMake files should have no issues. However, I cannot build the program either with VSCode extension nor with idf.py. In fact, I cannot build esp-idf examples from the official website, either.
Note: I am new to StackOverflow as well as to ESP32, so sorry if I made any mistakes here. If this post is problematic in any way, please inform me.
The error message from the terminal is shown here
I was initially using VSCode on Windows 10 (Windows is not activated). At first, ESP extension was completely failing to start the building process because it could not locate the tools. I was getting "could not be located" errors for all the tools. Below is a list of what I did in this setting:
I had v5.0.0 for esp-idf downloaded from Espressif server. I deleted it and tried v4.3.3 and then I tried to download from Github server. I downloaded the requirements for idf.py scripting environment and completed the settings for it as described by the Espressif's documentation.
I manually set the environment variables for IDF_PATH and PATH for both the user and for the system.
After 2, the initial error was gone. Unfortunately, I had a new error which indicated that ".elf" file for the project output could not be found. I do not exactly recall the error but if it is integral to the problem's solution I can try to replicate this issue.
I tried to delete and reinstall VSCode. I tried running VSCode with admin authority.
I tried changing the IDF_TOOLS_PATH in the VSCode esp-idf extension configurations from ".espressif" to "esp\esp-idf".
At this point, I moved to try to build the project on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS:
In Ubuntu, I got the fatal error: esp_event.h: No such file or directory error.
It does not seem to be a common issue and I could not find much about it online.
I followed the Linux setup steps in the documentation. It said that only step 1 (Downloading the prerequisites) was necessary for the VSCode extension.
I decided to try the "master branch" from esp-idf configurations as well. After I downloaded the master branch, the error changed to the current version: 'fatal error: esp_wifi.h: No such file or directory'
I also tried the idf.py in Ubuntu but I got the same error.
Both in Ubuntu and in Windows, the Doctor Command returns nothing. It does not even open the terminal or any window. I am not sure what it should return but some online discussions were asking about its return so I wanted to note it here.
Edit: When I tried the examples on Ubuntu, they actually build just fine. Doctor Command also works with examples.
However, the main code has still issues. Initially, I assumed I made some mistakes with esp-idf configurations. But, perhaps that was not the case.
I had the same problem and ended up editing my project's CMakeLists.txt. When I added "esp_wifi" to the "REQUIRES" list, it worked for me:
idf_component_register(
SRCS "main.c"
INCLUDE_DIRS res
EMBED_FILES res/settings.html
REQUIRES esp_wifi
)

Running an Erlang Application in Eclipse is throwing an exception

I have installed Erlang OTP 25.0, erlide 0.56.0, Eclipse 2022-09 & Java 18. I have created a new Erlang project and module. I am facing 2 issues.
Issue #1:
Getting an error when I tried to launch the Eclipse after creating the Erlang project.
Issue #2:
When I tried to run the application, I am getting an exception "Launching App1 has encountered a problem. An internal error occurred during launching App1. Expected the service OtpNodeProxy 5756dc#null FAILED to be running, but the service has FAILED" as shown in the screenshot ErlangRunConfigException. Please help me in resolving the issue.
I have followed the procedure given below.
Installed Eclipse and Erlide plugin
Installed Erlang OTP 25.0 from https://www.erlang.org/patches/otp-25.0
Updated the environment PATH to refer to the Erlang installation path. I cross-checked this setting by typing "werl".
In Eclipse, Erlang InstalledRuntimes is automatically updated with the Erlang version 25.0. Refer to the screenshot ErlangInstalledRuntime
Created a Erlang project and module.
Edited the Hello.erl with HelloWorld code.
In Eclipse->RunConfguration, created an ErlangApplication (refer to the screenshot RunConfig-ErlangApp-Erlang). I set RunTime and Node name as shown in the screenshot RunConfig-ErlangApp-Runtime. Selected the Windows PATH as shown in the screenshot RunConfig-ErlangApp-Environment.
Hello.erl
```
-module(hello).
-export([hello_world/0]).
hello_world() -> io:fwrite("hello, world\n").
```

Project structure
Eclipse Launching Error
Unfortunately, Erlang 25 doesn't load beam files older than v21, and the files included in erlide are that old. I am not really maintaining the project anymore, I can try to rebuild with v25, but can make no promises. Even then, the debugger will no longer work, it can be good to note.
The reported issue is seen with the latest Erlang version 25.0 and the older versions I have checked till 23.0. As a workaround, I have migrated to IntelliJ IDE.

Why am I getting an error when loading webviews in VS Code?

I'm using a portable install of VS Code 1.56.1 on Windows 10. Whenever open an extension from the marketplace, I get the following error:
Error loading webview: Error: Could not register service workers: TypeError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker for scope ('vscode-webview://extensioneditor/') with script ('vscode-webview://extensioneditor/service-worker.js?platform=electron&id=extensionEditor&vscode-resource-origin=https%3A%2F%2FextensionEditor.vscode-webview-test.com'): ServiceWorker cannot be started.
Same thing happens for other things using webviews, with a slightly different path (like VS Code release notes). I'm able to install plugins and view the Feature Contributions tab, but I cannot view the Details and Changelog tabs.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this? This is on a managed machine where security settings might be changing. I'm using a portable install because my installed version stopped working out of the blue last week and this was supposed to be the workaround until that was figured out.
I was getting the same error, it looks like an issue introduced on version 1.56.0.
For me the fix was running VS Code without elevated permissions.
I always run as administrator and running without it fixed the issue for me.
I had this problem, in terminal use code . --no-sandbox
Updating python3 to the most recent version may also help.

Compilation of Postgresql using pycparser- header files not found

I have installed pycparser that parses C code.
Using pycparser I want to parse an open source project, namely PostgreSQL(version-11.0). I have build it using Visual Studio Express 2017 compiler suite. However, during compilation it cannot find some header files, namely windows.h and winsock2.h.
While looking at the directory structure of the build PostgreSQL, I find that it does not have these header files. How to fix this issue?
Also a strange error occurred as:
postgresql/src/include/c.h:363:2: error: #error must have a working
64-bit integer datatype
Note: I am using Windows 10 64-bit platform and postgresql-11.0
The steps are as follows:
I downloaded visual studio 2017, Windows-10 SDK, Active Perl as described in the steps to build from source in PostgreSQL.
After this I open the developer command prompt of Visual Studio and navigate to the folder postgresql-11.0/src/tools/msvc
Use command "build" to build postgresql. The build process was successful, but still windows.h and winsock2.h was not found in directory structure of PostgreSQL.
I don't know pycparser, but your problem probably has two aspects to it:
You didn't give pycparser the correct list of include directories. The header files you mention are not part of PostgreSQL.
Maybe you can get the list from the environment of the Visual Studio prompt. I don't have a Windows here to verify that.
The error message means that neither HAVE_LONG_INT_64 nor HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 are defined.
Now pg_config.h.win32, which is copied to pg_config.h during the MSVC install process, has the following:
#if (_MSC_VER > 1200)
#define HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 1
#endif
Since you are not using MSVC, you probable don't have _MSC_VER set, which causes the error.
You could define _MSC_VER and see if you get to build then.
Essentially you are in a tight spot here, because pycparser is not a supported build procedure, so you'll have to dig into the source and fix things as you go. Without an understanding of the PostgreSQL source and the build process, you probably won't get far.

Why does running a .NET Core application from VS Code cause an error to occur?

I am trying to run a .NET Core version 1.1 application from inside VS Code version 1.8.1. When I push the F5 button, the console appears at the bottom of the screen. After enabling tracing, I get this output:

Also, a bar appears at the top of the screen that says:
The preLaunchTask 'build' terminated with exit code 2147516564.
When I click the "show problems" option, a blank problems tab appears that contains the message:
No problems have been detected in the workspace so far.
Why is VS Code refusing the build the project, and why are there no problem messages? I am only posting this on SO, because Google was not helpful, and because the VS Code GitHub page recommends asking questions here first.
UPDATE
This problem was caused by me having put coreclr.dll in C:\Program Files\dotnet. I did this, because of a different problem related to building the app. I thought that, since the output mentions it is looking in this directory, it might be helpful to put this file here. It turns out that this was a very bad idea, as it just complicated the problem! LOL!
You can get this error if you have problems in:
packages - please check if all packages are ok and restored successfully
core version - check that core installed with correct version
.net tools - please check if version of .net tools correct.
Can you try visual studio?
