Re: Windows problem

yeah, right, it absolutely looks something like that!

in fact, when I write an extremely simple sample (for bug submission), I had 
a surprise MessageBox telling me: "can't load this (dependency) library"
so I loaded manually a couple of dependency first (iconv, zlib1,..)(even 
though they were in the same directory?!?!?!).
but still it didn't work (in the debugger)....

I though what you said, but I am still clueless......

Anyway submitted to MS + MS's newsgroup!
