Hello, running windows vista, R2.9. Installed the following
libraries: (*latticist*, *playwith* and *Cairo*)
Wanted then to run, to evaluate the visualization features:
data(iris)
library(latticist)
latticist(iris)
However, i tested my desktop and laptop and get the following error
after typing latticist(iris):
latticist(iris)
Loading required package: playwith
Loading required package: cairoDevice
Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :
unable to load shared library
'C:/Users/luna/Documents/R/win-library/2.9/cairoDevice/libs/cairoDevice.dll':
LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found.
Error: package 'cairoDevice' could not be loaded
However, i navigate to the location in the path above and i do see
the cairoDevice.dll file, so i can't figure out what's going on.
Again, i tested 2 machines, with R2.9 and Vista, same error on both.
Don't you get a popup error dialog? I do, and it says that
libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll was not found. Only when I click on okay does
it return to the console to tell me about the cairoDevice failure. So
I think the real problem is with the libgdk not being present, and
that causes the cairoDevice dll to fail to load. Windows doesn't tell
R about the reason, it just says it failed.
The reason that library was not installed is that I didn't have RGtk2
installed properly. Try library(RGtk2), and make sure it works (and
let it install GTK if it wants), and things should be fine.
