[Matplotlib-users] DLL Load failure for matploltlib._png

[Tejashri K. <tej...@gm...>]

Hi,

I built matplotlib1.2.0 with python3.2 on Windows7 from source.
I built the libpng and freetype libs and linked them statically to
matplotlib.

Everything works fine on my machine, I can run the matplotlib examples etc
But on a new Win7 machine(with the exact same configuration as mine, except
a few softwares), I get the following error when i try to import png module
like this:

import matplotlib._png

ImportError: DLL load failed: The application has failed to start because
its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application
event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.


I used the dependency walker and found that pyd_ DLL was indeed having
issues during load.

What could be the reason. Surprisingly it works all fine on my machine.

Regards,
Tej
