hi - not sure if this is the right spot to ask for help on this, probably a basic question... I am trying to install ggobi on R running on Ubuntu Hardy - I am new to both Linux & R so the answer may be obvious & I'm just missing it. I have installed GGobi via synaptic, but trying to install rggobi I get the following error - there's some path problem but I don't fully understand the error message:
install.packages("rggobi")
Warning in install.packages("rggobi") :

Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'gtk+-2.0', required by 'libggobi', not found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GGOBI_CFLAGS
and GGOBI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
