RGtk2 is a packages that is a wrapper for GTK+ GUI toolkit. GTK+ itself is a large separate software package. I do not know if GTK+ is delivered within the RGtk2, but I doubt it as the former is quite big (at least with my own package that uses GTK, users need to install GTK separately). Now on Win

This isn't an R bug. You should send contributed package problems to the package maintainer, in this case Michael Lawrence. You need to install GTK; it's not included as part of the package. See this page for instructions: http://www.ggobi.org/rgtk2/ It would probably be a good idea for the
