Hi

I'm trying to install the rattle GUI on winwos 2000, with last version R 2.10.

I had a first problem using the rattle package, as it was asking pkg
XMl, which is no more in the CRAN repo. I instead simply install in
R/libraries the XML pkg from:
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.10/

Maybe I mised something here... So now I was able to run the library(rattle)
then, using:
rattle()

I have following error message, it wants to install GTK+, what I do,
restart R but then it does not work and I have following error
message:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :
  unable to load shared library
'C:/Programme/R/R-2.10.0/library/RGtk2/libs/RGtk2.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  Die angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden.


Failed to load RGtk2 dynamic library, attempting to install it.
Learn more about GTK+ at http://www.gtk.org
If the package still does not load, please ensure that GTK+ is
installed and that it is on your PATH environment variable
IN ANY CASE, RESTART R BEFORE TRYING TO LOAD THE PACKAGE AGAIN
Error in .Call(name, ..., PACKAGE = PACKAGE) :
  C symbol name "S_glade_xml_new" not in DLL for package "RGtk2"
Rattle timestamp (for the error above): 2009-11-25 17:47:50
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Checked for the install of GTK+, it's on the disk, and even on the
PATH... don't know what I should do... any idea?

Thanks!!
