quite work either. Well, the extremely annoying thing is that it DOES
work on another home pc, but on my laptop which I use for work, it
doesn't want to know!!! Both are running WinXP Pro. All the dependencies
and paths "seem" to be okay, but there must still be something that I'm
missing.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark here and suggest it's because you
have multiple (different) copies of iconv.dll on your PATH.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\PYTHON25\LIB\ctypes\__init__.py", line 349, in __init__
self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
WindowsError: [Error 127] The specified procedure could not be found
I get this on my current setup, where I've been messing around trying
to recompile lynx against iconv. I also get a popup saying "The
procedure entry point libiconv_set_relocation_prefix could not be
located in the dynamic link library iconv.dll."
Doing this worked for me:
C:\>set PATH=C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin
C:\>"C:\Python24\python.exe" -c "import ctypes; print
ctypes.CDLL('librsvg-2-2')"
<CDLL 'librsvg-2-2', handle 68e40000 at bd9b50>
Change the paths to your equivalents and try it, see if you have the
same or a similar dependency problem.
