This is a long shot but we ran into this error with matplotlib
and python2.4 using MingW.  Basically we removed the linking
references to msvcr71 in "distutils/cygwinccompiler.py", specifically
in the Mingw32CCompiler class.  The link is not needed, and this
removed the error mentioned below.  I don't know how pymol is built in
windows, but this sounded familiar enough to mention.  Python2.3 does
not suffer from the same problem btw.
