I'm having trouble to install RGtk2 (from source) on Mac OS 10.4.11 (R 2.9.0). The GTK libraries (2.12.11) were installed into /sw/lib via fink. Even if I set the GTK_LIBS to that path, the installation program doesn't seem to find it (see below). libglade is there too but not found. If I install the package from binaries, it fails on load. Would anybody know how to make it work? Thanks a lot, Hana $ echo $GTK_LIBS /sw/lib $ R CMD INSTALL RGtk2 * Installing to library '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library' * Installing *source* package 'RGtk2' ... checking for pkg-config... /sw/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for LIBGLADE... no configure: WARNING: libglade not found rm: R/libglade*: No such file or directory rm: src/libglade*: No such file or directory checking for INTROSPECTION... no checking for GTK... no configure: error: GTK version 2.8.0 required ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RGtk2' * Removing '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/RGtk2'
Installing RGtk2 on Mac OS

Please use R-sig-mac for Mac OS X questions, as the posting guide asks. But there is a binary of Gtk2 on r.research.att.com that matches the binary RGtk2 package on CRAN, and that worked for me earlier today. Mixing fink (or darwinports) with the binary R distribution is warned against in the R Mac OS X documentation.
