title: "DLL Load Failed" When Installing svm
body: <p>I am trying to implement neural network capabilities using Python.  I am trying the scikit-learn module.  I installed <strong>NumPy version 1.8.1</strong>, <strong>SciPy version 0.14.0</strong>, and <strong>matplotlib version 1.1.1</strong> under C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages, with <strong>Python Version 2.7</strong>.  Python and all of the modules are 32-bit.  Everything installed without any problems.  I did the following in the Python window:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import os
  import numpy, scipy, sklearn
  from sklearn import svm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The first two imports had no problems, but the "from sklearn import svm" import gave me the following traceback:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;interactive input&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
    File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\sklearn\__init__.py, line 13, in &lt;module&gt;
      from .classes import SVC, NuSVC, SVR, NuSVR, OneClassSVM, LinearSVC
    From "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\slkearn\svm\classes.py", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
      from .base import BaseLibLinear, BaseSVC, BaseLibSVM
    File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\sklearn\svm\base.py", line 8, in &lt;module&gt;
      from . import libsvm, liblinear
  ImportError:  DLL load failed:  The specified module could not be found."
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the files libsvm.pyd and liblinear.pyd are in fact in C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\sklearn\svm.
  Also, C:\Python27\python.exe is the Python version 2.7 found in the registry.  What am I missing?  Why am I getting this error, even after uninstalling and reinstalling the numpy and scipy libraries?</p>
