[BioC] EBImage error

[Oleg Sklyar]

Dear Jian,

This is not EBImage error, but GTK configuration error, which is 
independent on the package: the package fails to find one of the most 
basic GTK libraries that are required for its proper functioning.

The package requires at least 2 dependencies that must be installed 
separately on Windows. biocLite does not do that because those are not 
R, but system dependencies. GTK containing GDK is one of those. 
Unfortunately, often people use biocLite without thinking that many 
packages require system-level dependencies, which are not installed and 
biocLite does not warn about it.

Have you checked the installation manual for the package? Please check 
this manual, ensure that everything what is in there is done. If it 
still does not work check if {GTK}\lib is in your PATH along with 
{GTK}\bin.

If this all does not help, please post more details: versions of R, 
EBImage, GTK, ImageMagick that you are trying to use; the contents of 
your PATH variable in part concerning GTK and ImageMagick

Best,
Oleg
