Getting "OSError: dlopen() failed to load a library: cairo / cairo-2" on Windows
I got following error message: OSError: dlopen() failed to load a library: cairo / cairo-2 / cairo-gobject-2
, on Windows 10.
The GTK+ libraries which contain the libraries above can be obtained and installed from https://github.com/tschoonj/GTK-for-Windows-Runtime-Environment-Installer, as documented on https://weasyprint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#gtk64installer.
Note that your development environment will need to be restarted to read PATH
.
See http://win32builder.gnome.org/ or http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/home/ for a list of GTK+ bundles to install. These include the required cairo/cairo-2 libs.
- Extract the contents of the
bin\
folder to e.g.C:\Program Files (x86)\GTK2-bundle\
(any directory would do) - Add the above directory to your PATH environment variable
- Restart your development environment (in my case PyCharm)
