Hi there, I am trying to install a Python library with a C extension (the Polygon library) and I am having a bad time. My Python version is Python 2.4.3 - Enthought Edition 1.0.0 (#69, Aug 2 2006, 12:09:59) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on Windows XP Pro. I have dutifully followed the instructions here:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/Building_Python_with_the_free_MS_C_Toolkit i.e., - Installed Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit Compiler 2003 - Installed Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2 - Installed Microsoft .NET Framework SDK, version 1.1 - setup the path, include and lib environment variables with a .bat file, as described in the wiki document The library seems to build correctly (producing Polygon.py and cPolygon.pyd), but when I import it I get the following message from python.exe: "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found". I thought that this might be due to Python trying to link against the .dll from Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2005, also installed on my PC, instead of MSVCR71.dll. So I've removed MS Visual C ++ Express 2005, and any trace of it from my environment variables, but that doesn't seem to change anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
