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\\Ulead Systems\\MPEG;C:\\Program
Files\\TortoiseGit\\bin;C:\\Program Files
(x86)\\QuickTime\\QTSystem\\;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ggobi;C:\\Program
Files (x86)\\GTK2-Runtime\\bin"
What else might I try?
(Thanks)
