Re: [R] Can't load Rgraphviz on windows-based R

L.S.,

I am facing the same problem. I followed the all instructions given in help 
file and some steps of previous discussion (from google search) but I could not 
install package Rgraphiviz in windows.  I tried even the instructions given to 
install Bioconductor package then only able to install in Linux systems but not 
in Windows. In my opinion, Graphiviz package which creating problems in 
installation of Rgraphiviz packageis, is doing something wrong or needs some 
special requirements .

If some body have idea regarding this problem, I am also enthusiastic to see the solution.

Pls, if you find solution, let me know.


I installed it (without problems) on someone's Windows PC yesterday.
The recipe:

1) download and install the Windows installer for graphviz

http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/windows/graphviz-2.20.3.msi

2) add the path to the graphviz binaries to your PATH environment variable

  o in the Control Panel right click on System -> Properties -> Advanced
        -> Environment Variables
  o edit PATH and add the path to the binaries (ends in ...\bin)

3) install the Rgraphviz package from BioConductor

HTH,
Tobias

Rgraphviz is a Bioconductor package, so please ask on the apporpriatemailing list (see the posting guide).

Hi,

I have problem loading Rgraphviz. Following the instructions specified by

the README in Rgraphviz_1.20.3.tar.gz didn't help either.

o. set the following Windows environment variables accordingly
  (control panel -> systems -> Advanced -> Environment Variables

):

  (a) create new user variables:
    GRAPHVIZ_INSTALL_DIR   (e.g., C:\Graphviz-2.21)

<-------------------------- I stated C:\Graphviz-2.21 (I also tried
C:\/Graphviz-2.21)

GRAPHVIZ_INSTALL_MAJOR (e.g., 2)

<-------------------------- I stated 2

GRAPHVIZ_INSTALL_MINOR (e.g., 20)

<-------------------------- I stated 21

    Notice the way "\/" are used for the paths above.
  (b) add to user variable 'path': $GRAPHVIZ_INSTALL_DIR/bin

e.g., C:\Graphviz-2.21\bin

<-------------------------- I stated C:\Graphviz-2.21\bin (I also
tried C:\/Graphviz-2.21\/bin)

It should be 'PATH', not 'path': environment variables are

case-sensitive(in general, not sure what happens with PATH if set there).

library("Rgraphviz")

That does not mean Rgraphviz.dll: it means a dependent DLL. You didactually install graphviz, I presume?
