in thread Installing Gtk2 using PPM on Windows

I installed ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 Build 819 along with Gtk+ runtime environment 2.8.20 on my Vista machine and it seems to work ok. I next tried installing the newest perl 5.8.8.822 and installed Gtk2 1.141 using Gtk+ 2.10.11 and that seems to work also. I'm not sure what was wrong. ????

    These are the instructions from the maillist.
    From: Gabor Szabo <szabgab@gmail.com> For ActiveState users * I assume you already have ActiveState Perl installed on your system. If not, download and install ActiveState Perl from http://activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ * Next you need to install the GTK+ 2.x.x runtime environment. The latest version can be downloaded from http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html * Ensure that the <INSTALL_PATH>\GTK\2.0\bin directory is in your PATH after this installation. * Next you need to install the Win32 binary packages for gtk2-perl. Download and install the latest version of Gtk2.ppd and Glib.ppd from http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/win32/ppm/ (Another way to install these ppds is as follows C:\Temp> ppm install http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/win32/ppm/Gtk2.p +pd C:\Temp> ppm install http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/win32/ppm/Glib.p +pd ) Your system should be ready to roll !

      I tried the same thing on my Windows XP system and it is still giving me the same error. I decided to run the program in the command prompt and hope that it gives more insight to the problem. The error I received was "Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Glib/Glib.dll' for module Glib: load_file:The specified procedure could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 229." I looked and saw that Glib.dll does exist. anyone have an idea of whats wrong?
        Glib.dll is looking for a library which can't be found
      ..and more

      ppm install http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/win32/ppm/ExtUtils-PkgCon +fig.ppd ppm install http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/win32/ppm/ExtUtils-Depend +s.ppd ppm install http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/win32/ppm/Glib-1.100.ppd ppm install http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/win32/ppm/Gtk2-1.100.ppd
        I hardly use Win32, but for what it's worth, I recently gave up on the ppm Gtk2 fiasco, and switched to CamelBox. It installs like a cool breeze, and works fine. It dosn't contain plain old Tk though, so that may be a consideration.
