Failure to load dependency cairoDevice

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. install.packages("playwith")
2. library(playwith)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect it to load without a hitch. Instead:

Not sure this would make a difference, have you tried 
install.packages("playwith", dep=T) 

or perhaps explicitly 
install.packages("cairoDevice")

?

I tried both, neither worked.

I did fix it by copying all the files from Gtk directly into my R libraries. I 
was inexperienced with R and unaware that it had to be installed directly 
there. 

Having said that, I was slightly confused by the fact that the cairoDevice.dll 
file was present, but didn't seem to do anything until I overwrote it with the 
.dll from the Gtk install folder.
