Right. I'm a moron. I can't get it to run.

I already have Python 2.4.1 and GTK 2.6.9a (both installed via default
settings), and I added pygtk-2.6.3 for Python 2.4 (again, via default
settings).

I ran "python setup.py install", and it seemed to work, but things don't
seem to work...

# begin script

C:\IPA Zounds-3.0>python setup.py install
C:\Python24\lib\distutils\dist.py:222: UserWarning: 'licence' distribution

# So far, so good, right?

C:\IPA Zounds-3.0>python ipa-zounds.py
python: can't open file 'ipa-zounds.py': [Errno 2] No such file or
directory

# I thought I understood that the install would make the scripts visible
 from anywhere

C:\IPA Zounds-3.0>cd scripts

C:\IPA Zounds-3.0\scripts>python ipa-zounds.py
PyGTK 2.6 is not available; please install it.

# end script

At the moment the "PyGTK 2.6 is not available..." message appears, a
dialog pops up saying "Can't find libglib-2.0-0.dll" in what looks like
some kind of libpath. Now I *do* have libglib-2.0-0.dll, along with some
other useful looking dlls, installed inside a directory C:\Program
Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin that is not listed as part of that search
path.

Where is this libpath set, since it's not configured via Windows
environment variables? Is it more likely to be a Python thing, a pygtk
thing, or an ipa-zounds thing?

I have a Linux box I can try this on, too. That feels like it might be
easier.
