[Boost-users] DLL Load Failed

Hi,

 I am having a problem moving my boost python extension to a different
machine than my development machine. On my development machine
everything works great, I can access my C++ classes through python
without any problems but when I copy my .pyd (Python_ext.pyd) to my
target machine I get the error "DLL Load failed The specified module
could not be found" in my Python program when I attempt to import the
.pyd (import Python_ext)

I am using Boost_1_42. The .pyd was built using BJAM and my compiler is
MSVS 2003 and python26. Python26 is on both the development and the
target machine. I had similar problem when I moved my python .pyd
extension module to a different directory on my development machine but
I fixed that by copying the boost dll boost_python-vc71-mt-gd-1_42.dll
to the directory with my .pyd module and it ran great there. I tried to
do the same thing on my target machine. I copied my python program, the
.pyd extension module and the boost DLL
(boost_python-vc71-mt-gd-1_42.dll) to the same directory on my target
machine and still get the same error. Both machines are windows XP. 

To test this I am using  a simple test C++ class that just receives two
numbers and prints out there sum so I do not believe I am bringing in
any other dlls. I am sure this is a simple problem and I am just missing
it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
