[igraph] igraph Python: ImportError: DLL load failed

[Sall, Kenneth B.]

Hello,

 

I’m new to Python and igraph so sorry if this is a FAQ.

 

I installed Python 2.5.1 (Windows: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/python-2.5.1.msi), rebooted, and then installed “igraph” from the igraph-0.4.5.win32-py2.5.exe installer.

 

When I tried the test mentioned in one of the archived emails of this list, I get this error:

 

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on

win32

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> from igraph.test import test

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\igraph\__init__.py", line 29, in <module>

    from core import *

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

 

I also get a Windows alert message about libxml2.dll not found, suggesting I reinstall to fix it. I tried that to no avail. Anyone know what I’m missing?

 

Thanks in advance.
