from scipy.linalg import _fblas: ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

Question

I did some changes on my Anaconda installation (I just uninstalled previous one, and installed a newer version). Now trying to run my code simply importing this:

from skimage.measure import compare_ssim

But it shows this error. How can I fix it? All searching didn't help. When I do this import on Anaconda Prompt, it doesn't complaint. But when I run this on Eclipse, it shows this error.

I realized when I run this import on Anaconda Prompt, it doesn't complaint. But when I run this on Eclipse, it shows this error.

The simple solution was to add this to my PATH that helped fix the problem:
