On Windows it seems, but EBImage is a Bioconductor package and they 
have their own lists.

You didn't read the documentation.  EBImage needs appropriate 
versions of ImageMagick and Gtk+ in your PATH: the information is in 
the vignette EBImage-installation.pdf .  (At least in the version of 
EBImage I looked at the vignette was not very accurate.)

The 'at a minimum' information we asked for would have been very 
useful.  But we can deduce that you need to update from R 2.13.2.
