[R] Problem Loading rggobi package

[Prof Brian Ripley]

This is really a GGobi issue not an R issue, but I believe their mailing 
lists are down.

I think you are assuming that it is rggobi.dll that cannot be found, but 
that is not what the message says.  I would have expected Windows to give 
you a dialog box telling you the exact problem, and I suspect it was 
exactly what the Error message says: it is one of the ggobi or GTk or XML 
DLLs that was not found.

We did have a lot of trouble with similar things using GGobi in a shared 
installation: you need to check permissions as well as presence in the 
path of all the dependent DLLs.
