Valerie,
Ok, I understand the difference now. Would it be possible to
install the system requirement for rsvg ( just on devel)?
I'm trying to generate plots in either PNG or SVG with OpenBabel.
For PNG, OpenBabel requires it's own Cario library be installed on the
system (doesn't seem to work with what is built into R, as it needs to
be linked with OpenBabel). I've not been successful getting the Cairo
lib installed on windows, but using SVG with OpenBabel, and then reading
that back into R with rsvg, works fine. So it seems I'll need a extra
system library either way ( either Cairo, or librsvg2).
Thanks.
Kevin
