[BioC] EBImage package loading error due to configuration of gtk

[Wolfgang Huber]

Dear Patrick

thank you for your feedback. Can you please provide the output 
sessionInfo()?

Did you make sure to follow the instructions in Section 3 of the 
vignette 'EBImage installation' and in particular on where to download 
these add-on libraries and which versions to use?

           Best wishes
               Wolfgang
