At the end it seems to be that the failure of R is not connected with instaling
GTK+, because it occures after loading playwith library no matter if I confirm
the GTK+ installation or not. In fact it does not fail imediatelly you can
even continue to input commands to the comand line but it fails after scolling
left e.g. to see some longer expression.
The error message looks like this: "R for Windowa GUI front-end has encountered
a problem and needs to close...."
The details of error are specified like this: "AppName: rgui.exe
AppVer: 2.120.53317.0 ModName: msvcrt.dll ModVer: 7.0.2600.5512 Offset:
00037fd4"
If I confirm the instalation of GTK+ after calling the library playwith it the
instalation proceed ("the GTK2-Runtime" with banch of dll files occures on
disk) but I cannot say if it is really completed succesfuly.
After running the R again and calling the playwith library the same problem
occurs no matter if there is GTK+ installed or not.
Thanks,
Martin

Helllo,
I am having trouble with running the library Playwith in the R-2.12.0. running
under 32bit Windows XP. After calling the library the error message "The
procedure entry point gdk_cairo_reset_clip could not be located in the dynamic
library libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll." occurs and the R asks for instaling the GTK+
package. However the instalation of GTK+ thorugh the R fails. I have installed
GTK+ by installing GIMP 2.0 version 2.6.10 and set the path of environment
variables. But it still does not work. It seems to be that the problem is in
gtk2 (which I also installed).
Thank you for any hints!
The GIMP binary of GTK+ has been known not to work well with R, and probably
simply is not new enough in this case. What do you mean the GTK+ installer
fails? Some details on that would be helpful.
Thanks,
Michael
