I followed the instructions from README in win32_static precisely. This 
created file libpython26.a fine, etc. The build and installation process 
finished fine.

However, when I try to do now

 >>> import matplotlib
 >>> from pylab import *

I get:


Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
     from pylab import *
