[Liblas-devel] DLL problem with Python bindings v 1.2.1

[Jason.Woolard at noaa.gov]

Thanks for your response Mateusz. I think I got it working. 

I located the jpeg12_osgeo.dll in the bin dir of Frank's FWTools, made a copy and placed it in the Python path and liblas now seems to import ok.

Not sure if that's the correct way to fix my problem but it seems to work.

Thanks again.
