I see, so the problem seems to be bzip2 DLL.

Maybe, but I'm using the same DLL than you, i.e. bzip2 1.03 version available in the GNUWin32 site. Well, if you have MSVC, you may want to have a try and compile the bzip2 library on your own; that *should* definitely work. Below are instructions that a user has sent to me privately to compile LZO2 in Windows, but they should be easily applicable to bzip2 as well: 1) download http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo-2.02.tar.gz 2) unzip e untar it to C:\ (Winzip can do that, creating C:\lzo-2.02) 3) open a cmd command line window 4) set variables to compile from command line with Visual C++ 6.0. I used: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32.BAT" 5) change directory to C:\lzo-2.02 6) execute b\win32\vc_dll.bat 7) copy *.dll %systemroot%\system32 Tell me if you have success. BTW, which Windows version are you using? Luck! -- >0,0< Francesc Altet http://www.carabos.com/ V V Cárabos Coop. V.
