[Bioc-devel] Rgraphviz error in Bioconductor 2.2 build for windows

Hi,
since my package oneChannelGUI suggests Rgraphviz I realized that, in 
Bioconductor 2.2 release, the windows version for Rgraphviz
 is not available due to an error in compilation example compilation.

 checking examples ... ERROR
Running examples in 'Rgraphviz-Ex.R' failed.
The error most likely occurred in:
Actually I got around using the Rgraphviz from bioconductor 2.1, but I 
would like to know if it will be possible to fix the error.
Cheers

Hi Raffaele,
   Yes, we are trying to sort out the last set of problems with specific 
builds (Windows in this case seems to be causing a handful of minor 
annoyances).  Look for most of it to be cleaned up this week.

  best wishes

This is usually a symptom of a version mismatch between the version of 
graphviz used to build Rgraphviz, and the version of graphviz found when 
Rgraphviz is loaded.

My guess is that you have graphviz 2.18 installed, but need 2.16.1 to 
match the version used to build windows Rgraphviz available through 
biocLite.

Here's the link to the correct graphviz

aargh please ignore my last message; the symptom is usually due to a 
version mismatch, but I don't know why the bioc build machine is having 
problems. The purported version used to build Rgraphviz on the build 
machine was 2.16 (not 2.16.1 as in the text but not link below). Martin
