Well, at least in my case and I think Dick Kniep's, we are talking about (c=
). =20
In both our cases we are running Linux, and as far as I can tell, the

# python setup.py install

is required to compile and install the C modules used by ReportLab.

Since Windows machines don't by default come with a C compiler, my guess is=

that you will get exactly the same problem if you fail to place the require=
d=20
dll's in some appropriate directory.

I'll test it out in a moment on some 'clean' vmware machines (both Windows =
and=20
Linux) and report back shortly.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
