Henrik,
This is more of a package maintainer documentation issue. The 
DESCRIPTION file for GLAD

https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks/GLAD/DESCRIPTION

states there is a system requirement of GSL (GNU Scientific Library: 
http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl), but it doesn't state how to satisfy 
the requirement. If you download GSL and put the location of libgsl.dll 
in the Windows PATH environment variable, GLAD should load in R 2.10 
without issue.

Thanks Patrick. Future followers will now find this thread/answer
(because I'll be getting these question from aroma.affymetrix users
later).

Philippe (cc:ed), it looks like this GSL dependency is only related to
your HaarSeg code snippets; maybe there is a way to avoid requiring
GSL if a user is not using that branch of the GLAD package?

That's good enough for me, but I think you'll loose quite a few people
that way. Call it survival of the fittest/least lazy/....   My point
was that, do you really want to break your existing GLAD because of
the support of HaarSeg?  Isn't there a smoother workaround that will
make the package load, but if GSL is not available, it will give an
error if it is not available.  One immediate solution that should work
is to have the HaarSeg native code/dyn lib in an optional support
package loaded optionally via require().  I leave it there...

My (now) $.04

Hi Henrik and Patrick,

Thank you for pointing out the problem with GLAD under Windows.
I have now added a note in the DESCRIPTION file which refers to a README in
the inst directory. Is is based on the README provided in the flowClust
package.
Now users have all the information to set up their environnment under
Windows to get GLAD work on their computer.

Cheers,

Philippe
