[BioC] Problems Installing EBImage on Windows XP

[Martin Morgan]

Hi Vonn

I think the key is to add the path to the 'bin' directory of your gtk
installation to the system 'PATH' variable; additional details are in
the vignette 'EBImage Installation' at

  http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/EBImage.html

I see something like (for an appropriate value of '15' below)

> list.files(strsplit(Sys.getenv("PATH"), ";")[[1]][[15]])
 [1] "fc-cache.exe"                       "fc-cat.exe"

 [3] "fc-list.exe"                        "freetype-config"

 [5] "freetype6.dll"                      "gdk-pixbuf-csource.exe"

 [7] "gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe"       "glib-genmarshal.exe"

 [9] "glib-gettextize"                    "glib-mkenums"

[11] "gobject-query.exe"
"gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe"
[13] "gspawn-win32-helper.exe"            "gtk-builder-convert"

[15] "gtk-demo.exe"                       "gtk-query-immodules-2.0.exe"

[17] "gtk-update-icon-cache.exe"
"gtk-update-icon-cache.exe.manifest"
[19] "intl.dll"                           "libatk-1.0-0.dll"

[21] "libcairo-2.dll"                     "libexpat-1.dll"

[23] "libfontconfig-1.dll"                "libgailutil-18.dll"

[25] "libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll"             "libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll"

[27] "libgio-2.0-0.dll"                   "libglib-2.0-0.dll"

[29] "libgmodule-2.0-0.dll"               "libgobject-2.0-0.dll"

[31] "libgthread-2.0-0.dll"               "libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll"

[33] "libpango-1.0-0.dll"                 "libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll"

[35] "libpangoft2-1.0-0.dll"              "libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll"

[37] "libpng14-14.dll"                    "pango-querymodules.exe"

[39] "pango-view.exe"                     "pkg-config.exe"

[41] "xmlwf.exe"                          "zlib1.dll"
