I am trying to run some code someone gave me as an answer for a question, and I got the error attached at the end.

When I search for the line in the subject in Google, I find answers that I am trying to run 32bit code on a 64bit system,  
but I am running processing 64bit,

So, what am I missing?

Enclosed the code I’m trying to run (the full error message will follow)

````auto
String letters;
float defaultWidth, spread;
int layers, fontSize, scaleFactor;
int[] shadePalette;

void setup() {
  size(800, 600, P2D);
  fontSize = 100;
  scaleFactor = 10;
  textSize(fontSize);
  textAlign(CENTER, CENTER);
  letters = "TODAY";
  defaultWidth = textWidth(letters);
  spread = defaultWidth / letters.length();
  layers = 10;
  shadePalette = new int[layers];
  for(int i = 0; i < layers; i++) {
    //shadePalette[i] = 255 - (255 / (i + 1));
    shadePalette[i] = int(random(255));
  }
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  int i, j;
  
  for(i = 0; i < layers; i++) {
    fill(shadePalette[i]);
    textSize(fontSize - i * 4);
    for(j = 0; j < letters.length(); j++) {
      char c = letters.charAt(j);
      text(c, (width / 2 - defaultWidth / 2) + (j * (fontSize - j * 4)), height / 2 + i);      
    }
  }
}```

Have you tried size(800, 600) without P2D? For whatever it’s worth, it runs ok on a Mac if I leave off the P2D. Supposedly fixed in P4.

There is something clearly wrong with the .dll or it can’t be found. It’s also possible it’s looking for a 32-bit build of the .dll.  
Is that path in the error, to gluegen\_rt.dll on your machine or is this where the library is looking? Is the .dll actually in that location?  
Usually a Processing lib installed on the system includes the .dll in the /libraries folder of the distribution. So it should be located somewhere like

```auto
C:/Users/xxx/Documents/Processing/libraries/GlueGen/library/gluegen_rt.dll

```

If there are two versions of a library usually they are labeled 64 or 32 (or x86) or whatever. But you can check using dumpbin or Dependency Walker see: [https://trinitycore.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/tc/pages/2130022/How+to+tell+if+.dll+is+32+bits+or+64+bits](https://trinitycore.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/tc/pages/2130022/How+to+tell+if+.dll+is+32+bits+or+64+bits)  
But the error is saying it can’t find the .dll or it is not the right version.

now I have similar error,  
with this code,  
and I can’t find a solution for that.

I have the file in the processing libraries file,  
but the error is rgarding something from the temp file
