I also had issues installing the rggobi package into R (v 2.14, 32 bit on Vista 64) . I believe the problem rests in the install script. It has minor typos. I did manage to find an install script that did work. Try pasting this into R. source("http://www.ggobi.org/downloads/install.r";)

Hi Tal, Thanks for working through this. GGobi needs to be rebuilt for the new version of GTK+. I'm probably the person to do that, but my time is short these days. I'll try to get to it soon. The new binary will just include the necessary DLLs, so that this GTK+ installation step is unnecessary.

I checked it using: Sys.getenv("PATH") And the output includes the PATH to the GTK2 installation (it's the last item in the following list): "C:\\Windows\\system32;C:\\Windows;C:\\Windows\\System32\\Wbem;C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Ulea

According to my experience, you should NOT download the GTK version from GGobi's website. That version won't work for R 2.12.0 and rggobi. So first, remove that version of GTK; then follow the instructions from library(RGtk2) to download and install the more recent version of GTK+. Then everything

Greetings all, I am failing to install the package rggobi on windows 7 with R 2.12.0. On R 2.11.1, the package was installed fine. I asked for help on the rggobi google group 4 days ago, and didn't receive any help, so I was wondering if someone here might have a suggestion. Here are the details
