Internal Error when Attempting to Browse Source: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

After a fresh install, trying to access either the Timeline or Browse Source tabs results in an internal error and the following TraceBack?:

ImportError?: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

The DLL is located in the same directory as fs.py and I can load it when running the same command from a Python shell.

This issue was encountered before: http://lists.edgewall.com/archive/trac/2004-June/000440.html

However, I could not find a solution.

I suspect that Apache may not allow DLLs to be loaded from the current directory?

Note that I am also using ActiveState Python and I have Python installed in a non-standard directory, same as the previous person encountering this issue.

Issue resolved. This error occurs when multiple versions of Python are installed. Trac, Subversion, one of their dependencies binds to the incorrect version of Python.

Solution was to uninstall all but one version of Python (I chose ActiveState Python 2.3) and follow the installation instructions from scratch.

Another Solution: copy dlls at svn\bin\*.dll to cgi-bin directory. then it works well.
