As described, the problem seems to be you don't have all the necessary libraries installed. You should install the libtiff and libjpeg library binaries. You can get them from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tiff.htm and http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/jpeg.htm. You also must check that the binaries of the libraries are installed in a directory in your PATH environment variable. You also need to have libfftw3 installed on your system. You can get it from ftp://ftp.fftw.org/pub/fftw/fftw-3.1.2-dll.zip, and as with the other libraries, you should add it to your PATH variable too. > You also need to read > http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.6/ReadMe > and suggest to Uwe Ligges what he adds a note about this (it applies to > SoPhy for libtiff3.dll as well). Yes, I guess we should add a note. I hope you get it to work, and no doubt in asking what you need.
