Dear Wolfgang, Thanks a lot! Now it worked. Actually It's not about the new version of R,it's about the GTK2.0 I think. So what I did is uninstall all the packages,including R,then install R,then do the following : for gtk2.0 , install the libgtk2.0-doc; libgtk2.0-dbg; libgtk2.0-dev; libgtk2.0-common.(others I didn't mention are already installed.the same for ImageMagick...) for ImageMagick, install the imagemagick -doc; imagemagick-dbg and libmagickwand2;libmagickcore2;libmagickwand-dev;libmagickcore-dev;libmagickcore2-extra. All these packages are in the Synaptic Package Manager.So you don't need to download them. After install all the above pkgs, then install EBImage in R. For me the UBUNTU is 10.04 LTS, 32bit. Hope this would help others who with this same problem. Best, Xiu then start install EBImage!
