+error like ``cannot load library 'xxx': error xxx``, it means that WeasyPrint
+can’t find this library.

+You can set the ``WEASYPRINT_DLL_DIRECTORIES`` environment variable to list the
+folders where the libraries can be found. For example, in ``cmd.exe``:
+
+.. code-block:: doscon
+
+    > set WEASYPRINT_DLL_DIRECTORIES=C:\GTK3\bin;D:\GTK3\bin
