Hi guys! I am trying to install and load EBImage for R. So far the installation of the package seems to be OK, but whenever I try to load it in R 2.13.0 I am getting the following error Loading package: EBImage Loading package: abind Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : can't load shared object 'D:/R-2.13.0/library/EBImage/libs/i386/EBImage.dll' : LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found. This is strange, because the DLL-file in question is exactly at the path given above. Here is my configuration: - R is running under Vista - R 2.13.0 (new, clean installation only for EBImage) - EBImage version 3.8.0 was used - abind version 1.3-0 was used - gtk+ Package installed: gtk+-bundle_2.16.6-20100912_win32.zip from the URL given in the install-guide at the Bioconductor homepage - PATH-Variable has been altered to include D:\gtk\bin (and e.g. calling of gtk-demo.exe works from any directory) - ImageMagick installed: ImageMagick-6.6.9-9-Q16-windows-dll.exe from URL given in the install-guide at the Bioconductor homepage - The two boxes for installing C headers and altering the PATH- variable were set. Still, it produces the error mentioned above. What am I doing wrong? Did I forget something? Any hints? I am aware of this message: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioconductor/2010-December/037002.html , stating that the error has been fixed. Still, I used all the newest versions and can't get it running... Thank you in advance, Peter [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello Peter, EBImage works well on Windows machines. It seems like that the library loader cannot load EBImage.dll because of broken DLL dependencies (such as ImageMagick and GTK+). First, are GTK and ImageMagick working on your machine ? Try 'gtk- demo' and 'display' on the command line. Where are they located in your machine ? Are you using the command line version of R ? Are you using a 32-bit version of R ? Hope this helps !
