[R] Problem loading ReadImages package (and RGooglemaps)

[Paul.Rustomji at csiro.au]

Hello All

I have just tried to install the ReadImages packge in R but am getting an error message stating:

"This application has failedt to start because jpeg62.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem"

and at the R prompt this error message gets returned:

> local({pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)))
+ if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)})
Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : 
  unable to load shared library 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-29~1.1/library/ReadImages/libs/ReadImages.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  The specified module could not be found. 
Error in library(pkg, character.only = TRUE) : 
  .First.lib failed for 'ReadImages'

The .dll file that it is trying to find (in this case ReadImages.dll) does seem to be in the indicated directory (though I am not sure the abbreviated path isn't causing problems here...)
