Hm - never seen this particular kind of error message but the nature of it points to a problem finding the DLL. Where is libpng14-14.dll located?
What does cffi:*foreign-library-directories* say?

Also, you could use

(load-foreign-library '( :default "libpng14-14" ))

to load the DLL.

Most probably not.

Hope that helps.
