Hello all, I'm having a terrible time trying to get PyGTK working on my
system here.
I've got Python 2.5.4 with SciPy/matplotlib installed as well. The first
time I tried installing PyGTK (using the all-in-one installation package
on the PyGTK homepage) the installation seemed to go fine. Since I
already have Python 2.5.4 installed, I unchecked the "Python runtime" in
the list of modules and installed everything into their default locations.
I then copied the "base.py" example from the tutorials page and when I
tried invoking it from the command line I got:
"This application has failed to start because libglib-2.0-0.dll was not
found."
Thinking something had gone wrong during the install, I re-installed my
Python environment (without PyGTK), checked it to make sure everything
was fine, and then re-installed PyGTK after uninstalling it first. Now,
when I try to run "base.py" I get:
"This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found".
Here is my sys.path:
IDLE 1.2.4
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['C:\\Python25\\Lib\\idlelib', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python25.zip',
'C:\\Python25\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python25\\lib',
'C:\\Python25\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python25\\lib\\lib-tk',
'C:\\Python25', 'C:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages',
'C:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\gtk-2.0']
>>>
MSVCR80.dll is present on my machine but not in any Python or PyGTK
directory. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Thanks in advance!
