Thank you for the response and I am sorry about the html--will remember next time. The version of RGtk2 installed is 2.20.8 I installed it through R from CRAN repository. I believe that the problem is that during the installation the environment variable GTK_BASEPATH was set to some other location than where GTK+ was installed--overwritten by the R installation process. I found this after I fixed the issue by copying the libraries into R \bin. This is probably not the best solution but it works. I will be updating R soon to 2.14 when it comes out and hopefully things will work better now that I have the environment variable pointing to the right place for the GTK+ libraries.
