Hi,

When I try to use ArduinoIDE 2.1.0 and install .zip library for MLX90640 from the documentation on the sparkfun site , I run into this issue;

Error: 13 INTERNAL: Library install failed: moving extracted archive to destination dir: library not valid

I have tried to have the file structure match a library I was able to install ( MLX90393 ) and that didn’t work. I then tried to go back to Arduino 1.8.19 to see if I could install it there. No luck either. Anyone know how I can install this library?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can anyone help, I’m still stuck on this library and based on the forum, it appears the library works or worked?

I do not use ArduinoIDE 2.x the 1.8.x is good and stable.

A Google on the error message brings a youtube link from someone who had the same issue, but with a different package. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywz8jnl4mO4.

Looked to be a directory naming issue

I did try to install the library manually also. I’m wondering if there is an issue in the library itself. I’d think Sparkfun libraries are well maintained, so I’m guessing it’s something I am doing or not doing, but I haven’t had an issue installing any other library, so it makes me think this one is special.
