[BioC] Problems loading EBImage-package in R

[Gregoire Pau]

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 !

Cheers,

Greg
