You're on Windows, so presumably you're using the PATH environment 
variable for the following search.

You checked the path for what file?  it's looking for  _lhfgsb.dll, or 
maybe _lhfgsb.pyc which is imported by lbfgsh.py.  The latter file is 
found, as you can tell from the stack trace.  That's the file you got 
the error in.

So perhaps the dll isn't being loaded into a directory that's on the PATH.
