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.
