rggobi: Installation problems on OS X Snow Leopard
1) Please use the R-sig-mac list for Mac-specific questions.
2) The isssue here is there is no binary package on CRAN. You could
try
install.packages("rggobi", type="source")
but I can tell you this will run into problems unless you have
pkg-config installed and suitably configured.
I suggest you ask the maintainer in the first instance (he is a Mac
user) then follow up on R-sig-mac.
