Probably the problem has to do with not finding the underlying
language's DLL (eg, python.dll).  Unfortunately you're only seeing
"dynamic load error" in place of the actually useful information.
Someone needs to improve the stub in win32.c:

char *
dlerror(void)
{
    return "dynamic load error";
}
