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.
