[PyGreSQL] Trying to get pygresql running on windows xp ... dll hell

[Bryan Montgomery]

Hi Chris, thanks for your reply - however I should have been more specific.
I should have said I tried with minimal path with just postgres and python
in the path.

Without postgres in the path, I get:
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
With postgresql in the path, I get:
ImportError: DLL load failed: The operating system cannot run %1.

I think it must be some incompatible dll that is in the chain. I did find an
old version of libeay32.dll from 2005 in my windows system directory. I
renamed that but the issue still remained. I also searched for cygw*.* but
didn't find that in the windows hierarchy.

I'm at a loss - looks like I'll just have to keep running it from a remote
machine.

Bryan.
