[BioC] : [R] Problems wih EBImage for windows 7

[Gregoire Pau]

Hi Evan,

Sure. EBImage works fine on Windows. The issue you're mentioning has 
been fixed in the last release of Bioconductor, in October. Please use 
the latest release version of EBImage, version 3.6.0, available here:
http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/EBImage.html

If it still doesn't work, could please give us the usual stuff: R's 
sessionInfo(), EBImage, GTK+ and ImageMagick version numbers.

There are many, located at 
http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/windows/
Try this one, which works fine with my Windows platform:
http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/windows/ImageMagick-6.6.1-4.zip

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Greg

I am a windows user who also installed GTK+ and the latest version of ImageMagick 6.6.6-5-dll.exe before discovering the binaries do not work for windows 7.  There appear to be no old binaries of 6.5.x to drop back to.  I am too unsophisticated to attempt a build.
