Thanks, I will try.

I tried to install it from binary on R-devel

R Under development (unstable) (2013-02-13 r61942) -- "Unsuffered Consequences"
Copyright (C) 2013 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
ISBN 3-900051-07-0
Platform: i386-w64-mingw32/i386 (32-bit)

It does not load with error 

library(ReadImages)
Error: package 'ReadImages' was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it

So I presume I could try to build it from sources, which can be beyound my expertise, if there was some tweak issues. This is probably the last resort for me.

Regards
Petr
