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 should be fine, except library(rggobi) will still complain that libxml2.dll is missing. [I don't guarantee the rest of steps work] You might need to download libxml2 (http://xmlsoft.org/) and manually put its dll's under your PATH (e.g. the bin directory of GTK+).
