[R] [R-pkgs] RGtk2 2.10.x series available

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Did you not get a dialog box with further details?

Unfortunately I found no instructions.  You need a version of of Gtk2 
installed that is at least as late as the Windows maintainer used to build 
RGtk2, as it adapts to the version installed.  I don't know what that is 
and had to update mine.

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/gtk-2.10.11-win32-1.exe?download

is the latest available, and sufficed for me.

Uwe: could you add a note to the Readme, please, with the version 
requirement?
