[PythonCE] Python CE on a Intel XScale industrial device.

[Adam Walley]

Hi, Lachezar.

I recall having the exact same message. I cannot remember which application
I was using/trying to install at the time. The problem was easily fixed by
obtaining a celib.dll and putting it into the Windows folder on my device. I
believe you will find lots of posts about this.

Adam.
