Please update your R (and probably your RGtk2: you did not tell us its version), as the posting guide asked you to do before posting.

Hello,

I hope this is the right place to ask for help with a problem I am
having with RGtk2 installation with R on Windows XP.
I am running R 2.11.1 and have installed the package RGtk2 from CRAN.

As a binary package, I guess, but please tell us (it matters).

I also have GTK 2.10.11 installed as well as GTK2-runtime 2.22.0. I
have added the environment variable GTK_PATH and set its value to the
root location where GTK is installed.

But you need the Gtk+ bin directory in your PATH. Environment variable GTK_PATH is only needed when RGtk2 is installed from the sources.

Which Gtk+ you need in your path depends on the version of RGtk2 you have and how you installed it. For current binary versions, see

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.13/@ReadMe

When I try to run RGtk2 in R by
typing library(RGtk2) a popup dialog appears with the following error
message:

The procedure entry point gdk_app_launch_context_get_type could not be
located in the dynamic link library libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll

In the R window I get :

Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :
 unable to load shared library 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-211~1.1/library/RGtk2/
libs/RGtk2.dll':
 LoadLibrary failure:  The specified procedure could not be found.

Failed to load RGtk2 dynamic library, attempting to install it.
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'RGtk2', details:
 call: install_all()
 error: This platform is not yet supported by the automatic
installer. Please install GTK+ manually, if necessary. See:
http://www.gtk.org<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://www.gtk.org&usg=AFQjCNFJhHsdogCdq8O8Ki9DXcvOrWW0oA>
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RGtk2'

Any help in figuring out what could be the problem is greatly
appreciated.

Cheers,
