I have had a problem loading the EBImage package which seems to be
tied to
gtk.
I am using Windows XP, and I have sucessfully installed gtk and
Imagemagick. Both programs run on their own. I also (apparently)
have
successfully installed EBImage because the R terminal printed this
message:
package 'EBImage' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
The downloaded packages are in
C:\Documents and Settings\plzimmerman\Local
Settings\Temp\RtmpifIost\downloaded_packages
updating HTML package descriptions
the problem arises just when i attempt to load the library. i use
library(EBImage), and receive the following message, not from the R
terminal, but from a dialog box. Across the banner of the box, it
reads:
"100% downloaded: Rterm.exe - Unable To Locate Component". Inside the
box,
it reads: "This application has failed to start because
libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll was not found. Re-installing the application
may fix
this problem."
I have gtk installed right on my C drive, and i have located the file
in
question. It's address is: C:\gtk\bin\libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll. This
seems
like an address that should not present any problem, i.e. no spaces or
anything. I have also checked to see if i had any path issues. on my
computer, i go to system properties - environment variables - system
variables. there is a variable named gtk whose value is C:\gtk\bin.
Any advice will be appreciated.
