I'm trying to run the quality control function of RnBeads:

rnb.run.qc(rnbs, reportDir)

but it results in the following error:

Error in logger.error(em) : Could not create file. GhostScript was not found

I'm using RStudio under Windows. So I installed GhostScript and set the environment variable for R:

Sys.setenv(GS_CMD="C:/Program Files/gs/gs9.50/bin/gswin64c.exe")

But it seems it doesn't work. I still get the same error that GhostScript was not found. If I use Sys.getenv() GhostScript is there on the list of environment variables, but tools::find_gs_cmd("gswin64c.exe") results in:

gswin64c.exe 
          ""

Any suggestions what is going wrong here?

Dear Kathrin,

You'll also have to add the path to the Ghostscript executable to your PATH environment variable as described in the RnBeads FAQ under rnbeads.org/faq.html. Under Windows 7, for instance, you can specify that in the Control Panel in the Systems properties.

I hope that helps,

Michael
