Hi,

I have tried everything possible to get EBImage to work on my computer without success. I have read all available previous posts to this list and consulted the web page of Joel Granado (http://joelgranados.wordpress.com/2012/04/05/very-painful-ebimage-install-on-windows/) who provides a very detailed description of how to install EBImage on Windows.

I have installed gtk+ 2.0 and ImageMagick. I added "gtk+\bin" path to the system environment and I installed EBImage using the recommended method:
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
                biocLite("EBImage")

I still however get the following error when trying to load EBImage in R:
Loading required package: abind
Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :
  unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/vernonvisser/Documents/R/win-library/2.15/EBImage/libs/x64/EBImage.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Error: package/namespace load failed for 'EBImage'

If you could please help me out with this I would be most appreciative.
