I have installed Code::Blocks on my Vista machine with GTK+ 2.16, but when I try to run a GTK+ app it gives me the following error:

This application has failed to start because libglib-2.0-0.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I have tried reinstalling Code::Blocks, did not fix the problem.

Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

Just add gtk+ bin directory to your path via
my computer (right click) -> properties -> advance ->environment variables

Now edit the path variable(i. e add your gtk+ bin directory path)
for example my path has

C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\gtkmm\bin;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\;C:\Program Files\PHP\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Bakefile;C:\Program Files\Samsung\Samsung PC Studio 3\;C:\Program Files\doxygen\bin;C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\bin;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin;C:\Program Files\GtkSharp\2.12\bin;C:\omniORB\bin\x86_win32;C:\Python26;C:\GnuWin32\bin;C:\orbit\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\wxWidgets\lib\vc_dll;C:\msys\1.0\MinGW\bin;c:\Qt\bin

Thanks for that! It removed that error, but now it comes up with this:

"The procedure entry point FT_Select_Size could not be located in the dynamic link library freetype6.dll"

Any idea what is causing this and how to fix?
