Answer 1

I've had a similar problem with a different library. WAMP doesn't include many libraries by default for some reason.

What I did was download the full PHP installation as a zip from php.net and the required dll was found in the extensions folder just as it is in WAMP. I just copied it from the zip to the WAMP extension folder and it worked fine.
