llvmlite: OSError: Could not load shared object file: llvmlite.dll

Hi, I encountered a strange problem when using numba. It looks like that numba fails to run with llvmlite.dll missing.

However, I have validated that llvmlite.dll is at the location: C:\Software\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\llvmlite\binding, and import llvmlite does not report any error.

I will appreciate it very much if anyone could help me solve this problem : )

Package Info Python==3.8.3 numba==0.51.2 llvmlite==0.34.0
