Hi,

I wanted to install the gWidgets package and ran the following code:

------------------------------------------
> install.packages("gWidgets")
trying URL 'http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/R/CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/2.7/gWidgets_0.0-30.zip'
Content type 'application/zip' length 1354268 bytes (1.3 Mb)
opened URL
downloaded 1.3 Mb

package 'gWidgets' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

The downloaded packages are in
        C:\Documents and Settings\ts\Local Settings\Temp\Rtmpx7Ow1V\downloaded_packages
updating HTML package descriptions
> library(gWidgets)
Error in fun(...) : 

*** gWidgets requires a toolkit implementation to be
 installed, for instance gWidgetsRGtk2, gWidgetstcltk, or gWidgetsrJava***

.
Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'gWidgets'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'gWidgets'
> 
--------------------------------------------------

I can't understand why I'm gettting the error. Earlier today, a very similar thing happened with a bioconductor package that I was trying to load. 

My sessionInof:

==========================
nfo()

locale:

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base     

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] tools_2.7.2

==========================

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

thanks!
