Re: [R] Failing to install {rggobi} on win-7 R 2.12.0
I also had issues installing the rggobi package into R (v 2.14, 32 bit on Vista 64) . I believe the problem rests in the install script. It has minor typos. I did manage to find an install script that did work. Try pasting this into R. source(http://www.ggobi.org/downloads/install.r;) Here is the reference page I found it on, for more background on it: http://datamining.togaware.com/survivor/Installation_Details.html Hope this helps. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Failing-to-install-rggobi-on-win-7-R-2-12-0-tp3236602p4649909.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] Failing to install {rggobi} on win-7 R 2.12.0
Dear Prof Brian Ripley and others, After (finally) checking again, I found that ggobi doesn't work with the newer GTK (probably needed for R 2.12.0).

And the newer version 2.1.16-3 is not available on CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rggobi/index.html) *What doesn't work:* Trying this with R 2.12.0 with rggobi (version 2.1.16-3), will *crash* with the error: the procedure entry point g_malloc_n could not be located in the dynamic link library libglic-2.0-0.dll When then trying to install gtk+ from the dialog box offered, then it downloads GTK (version 2.22.0 instead of 2.12.9) from here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk-win/gtk2-runtime-2.22.0-2010-10-21-ash.exe?download ' After doing this, ggobi (not rggobi) itself, won't run.

Re: [R] Failing to install {rggobi} on win-7 R 2.12.0
Hi Tal, Thanks for working through this. GGobi needs to be rebuilt for the new version of GTK+. I'm probably the person to do that, but my time is short these days. I'll try to get to it soon. The new binary will just include the necessary DLLs, so that this GTK+ installation step is unnecessary.

Re: [R] Failing to install {rggobi} on win-7 R 2.12.0
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+).

Re: [R] Failing to install {rggobi} on win-7 R 2.12.0
I recall that my problem on Windows was related to having a number of stray versions of GTK+ installed. I went back and deleted all versions and reinstalled the latest GTK+ and that seemed to fix things. However, when I went to do any work of substance ggobi locked up and became unresponsive. Never did get it working right on Windows. Had much more luck with R/ggobi on Ubuntu 10.10.

Never did get it working right on Windows. Had much more luck with R/ggobi on Ubuntu 10.10. I've just been setting rggobi up for our classroom. It seems that on Windows we now need to use Rgui in SDI mode to run rggobi without lookups. (That was not the case last year, so it might be due to the change in GTK+ version or it might be due to the change from XP to x64 Windows 7 on those machines.) The rggobi binary on CRAN extras is statically linked against everything except GTK+, but the www.ggobi.org ggobi DLL needs both GTK+ DLLs and libxml2.dll (which needs iconv.dll and zlib1.dll). Late last year there was a problem in that GTK+ and libxml2.dll needed different zlib1.dll's, but AFAICS this is now resolved by using ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/libxml/libxml2-2.7.7.win32.zip and ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/libxml/iconv-1.9.2.win32.zip. (Unpack those and drop the DLLs into somewhere on your path, e.g. the GTK+ bin directory.) We've had a lot of trouble over zlib1.dll: those prepared from zLib 1.2.3 and 1.2.5 are incompatible. The whole point of the '1' in the name is to change the name in that case! I suspect very few of those benefitting from Windows binary packages have any idea how much work goes into circumventing such issues. -- Brian D.
