Hi, I've installed several versions of R on a number of Window systems. I get the following error message (which I don't get on linux)> dev2bitmap(file="test.jpeg",type="jpeg")Error in system(paste(gsexe, "-help"), intern = TRUE, invisible = TRUE) : gswin32c.exe not found Any idea how to fix this? It seems common to all windows systems I've tried. Is there a package I can install that will correct this?

Please do as the posting guide asks and use a sensible subject line. On Mon, 23 Aug 2004, Andrew Harrison wrote:> I've installed several versions of R on a number of Window > systems.

You will need a version of 'ghostscript' (5.10 and later have been tested): the full path to the executable can be set by the environment variable 'R_GSCMD'. 2) Install 'ghostscript' as it says. If googling for that is beyond you, http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ should get you started. -- Brian D.
