Dear all,
I have Installed the package `DifferentialEquations`.
However, when I run `using DifferentialEquations` an enormous problem apperars: see below.
```julia

Try `]build DifferentialEquations` again? Looks like it just cut out while downloading one of the dlls.

Nothing yet…
The error is the same.
Could you help me please?

I have re-installed the JuliaPro but not solved the problem.

Try using a standard Julia installation.

Is the same above…see the figures.
I don’t know to solve this.

That’s still JuliaPro instead of [from the downloads page](https://julialang.org/downloads/).
Not sure why it can’t load LLVM.
I assume LLVM.jl doesn’t work either; what happens if you try
```julia
using Pkg; Pkg.add("LLVM")
using LLVM
```

He install LLVM, as can you see below with several warning messagens:
Next, when I load `using LLVM` an error occurs:
Why this happens?
Can be the name of my folders: “usuário”??

Someone else reported recently that Chinese characters in the path cause this to fail on Windows, so it might be the case that unicode (e.g. “á” in “usuário”) is the problem.

Those errors are still all showing JuliaPro. Please show what it looks like without JuliaPro.

Now using Julia only. The errors are the same.

Looks like it’s a @Elrod thing then.

It’s not VectorizationBase specific. Any library that wants to use LLVM (such as LLVM.jl) throws the same error.
One person reports non-ascii user names as the cause of the problem:
[https://github.com/JuliaSIMD/VectorizationBase.jl/issues/54#issuecomment-822194517](https://github.com/JuliaSIMD/VectorizationBase.jl/issues/54#issuecomment-822194517)
I’d suggest trying to create a new ascii username and seeing if the problem persists.

You suggest I create a new folder to my user?
I this situation, I will need to format my computer, because it does not allow you to change the name `Usuário` in the path.
A similar thing happens in the ```gr()´´´ package.
