Greetings all,

I am failing to install the package rggobi on windows 7 with R 2.12.0.
On R 2.11.1, the package was installed fine.

I asked for help on the rggobi google group 4 days ago, and didn't receive
any help, so I was wondering if someone here might have a suggestion.

Here are the details:

-----------------------------------


I am having a similar (bot not exact) problem as Tom had here:
http://groups.google.com/group/ggobi/browse_thread/thread/67b7260d074d710c

I downloaded and installed all components. (GTK was placed in d:\\GTK)

When I try to load the rggobi library (library(rggobi) it offers me to
install GTK+ because it can't find the dll (even that all of
the dll it is looking for are present in the path environment
Sys.getenv("PATH")
Sys.getenv("GTK_BASEPATH")
)

When answering "no" to the installation of GTK, I get the following
error in a popping window:
"the procedure entry point g_malloc_n could not be located in the
dynamic link library libglic-2.0-0.dll"

I then get the following errors in the R console:
"Loading required package: rggobi
Error in library.dynam("RGtk2", pkgname, libname) :
 DLL 'RGtk2' not found: maybe not installed for this architecture?
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 inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :
 unable to load shared object 'd:/Program Files/R/library/rggobi/libs/
i386/rggobi.dll':
 LoadLibrary failure:  The specified procedure could not be found.
"


I also tried running R as "an administrator", but it didn't fix the
problem (only added another error popup window with the massage:
"the procedure entry point cairo_glyph_allocate could not be located
in the dynamic link library libcairo-2.dll")


Here is my sessionInfo:
> sessionInfo()

Thank you for any advice.
