I am trying to get pygtk-1.99.14 running on a windows NT machine and
am encountering unexpected difficulties.  I have done this on a couple
of windows machines before successfully, but have spent half a
unsuccessfully day trying to get this one working.  I am hoping
someone here has a suggestion for something I have forgotten.

1. I installed the gtk2 runtime from
   http://www.dropline.net/gtk/download.html which put the gtk libs in
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\lib

2. I added a key to PythonPath in the system registry and added this
   dir to that key

3. I installed pygtk-1.99.14 from
   http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/PyGtk-latest.exe

4. When I 'import gtk' from IDLE, I get 

>>> import gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in ?
    import gtk
  File "C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gtk\__init__.py", line 39, in ?
    import gobject as _gobject
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.


5. The gtk2 runtime dir is in my sys.path; in the example below it is
   sys.path[1], and this dir includes libgobject 

>>> glob.glob(sys.path[1] + '\\lib*.dll')
['C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\GTK\\2.0\\lib\\libatk-1.0-0.dll',
'C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\GTK\\2.0\\lib\\libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll', ... 
(snip)  ... libgobject-2.0-0.dll' ... (snip)]

6) If I include the C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\lib dir in
   DependencyWalker's search path, it loads gobject.pyd and _gtk.pyd
   w/o incident


It looks like the libraries are installed properly and the
install dir is in my PYTHONPATH, but python can't use them.

Any suggestions welcome; I'm stuck!
