I know next-to-nothing about linking dynamic libraries in Windows, but
<br>if I saw a message like that in Linux, I'd check my dynamic linker path
<br>to ensure the Boost.Python shared library is in it; any Python module
<br>you build is linked against against that library. If the dynamic linker
<br>can't find the boost_python library when it tries to load your module,
<br>it's very likely that it would complain about your module not being
<br>found, because it was unable to resolve some symbols in it.
<br><br>Hopefully a Windows expert on the list will chime in, but I gather the
<br>list is rather short on those.
