Clojure doesn't find dependencies

Question

I've got a problem with Clojure. I want to install neanderthal but each time I try to compile my program I get this error.

; Syntax error compiling at (uncomplicate\neanderthal\native.clj:1:1).
; No namespace: uncomplicate.neanderthal.internal.host.mkl

The first lines of my program

(ns learning.core
  (:gen-class)
  (:use [uncomplicate.neanderthal core native]))

EDIT: additional info

project code

(defproject learning "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :description "FIXME: write description"
  :url "http://example.com/FIXME"
  :license {:name "EPL-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-or-later WITH Classpath-exception-2.0"
            :url "https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/"}
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.10.1"]
                 [uncomplicate/neanderthal "0.40.0"]
                 [clj-http "2.0.0"]]

  :main ^:skip-aot learning.core
  :target-path "target/%s"
  :profiles {:uberjar {:aot :all
                       :jvm-opts ["-Dclojure.compiler.direct-linking=true"]}})

deps.end

{:deps
 {uncomplicate/neanderthal {:mvn/version "0.40.0"}}}

This file should be included in the same directory as project.clj?

I see that the problem has something to do with lein not being able to find the library. That's the error that I get when I try to run lein repl

Answer 1

The problem was a missing dependency. Adding [org.bytedeco/mkl-platform-redist "2020.3-1.5.4"] to my project.clj solved the issue.
