Dear Patrick, Which version of EBImage are you using ? It looks like that your system is not able to locate the GTK library. Did you add the 'C:\gtk\bin' directory to the PATH environment variable, as mentioned in the installation guide ? If not, this should fix the issue you are mentioning (do not forget to restart R after doing this).
