Um, it sounds as if you are trying to install glade-3.4.3-win32.zip into R as a package... but it is not an R package!!
GTK+/Glade is a system library to be installed into Windows. You should download the .exe (not the .zip) http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/gtk-dev-2.12.9-win32-2.exe and run it to install it.
