For posterity I'd like to tie this thread up with some sort of conclusion. Hopefully someone will find this via Google and be helped by it. This file seems to have everything I needed bundled: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.12/gtk+-2.12.9-bundle-20080402.zip Also, I've discovered the specific source of the following error message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click on OK to terminate the application." The problem occurs on Windows XP Home (and probably other versions as well) whenever one of the shared libraries (DLLs) that your program depends on does not have its executable permission flag enabled. Dependency Walker is a great tool, but it was entirely oblivious to this little fact, as was I (in fact, I was scarcely aware that non-NT Windows kernels would even respect such a flag.) It's worth noting that I have encountered a few DLL files from gtk.org and gnome.org that did not have their execution flags set either. Thanks to everyone that helped (Tor.) -- http://www.socsurveys.org/ http://blogger.socsurveys.org/ http://del.icio.us/hdon http://hdon.soup.io/ _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
