Execution/compilation issue with text files importer (iLoad/iData/load, looktxt)

In some cases, the provided iFit/iFiles/private/looktxt.mex* may fail to execute (wrong architecture, missing library).

If a library is mising, just install it.
Under Windows 64bit systems, you need the Visual C++ runtime libraries e.g. msvc[mpr]90.dll which are provided with the Visual C++ installation (see below), to put in the Windows system directory.

In case this is not a problem of library, remove the invalid mex file (in iFit/iFiles/private) , and relaunch the importation process. A brand new MeX file will automatically be generated, using the system C compiler.

Most systems provide a default C compiler.
You may need to select the compiler with the mex -setup command from Matlab.

It has been reported that MeX compilation may fail when spaces are part of the path name to the iFit location.
Move iFit to an other location which does not include spaces in its name (e.g. avoid My Documents) for compilation.
