installing Rgraphviz under fedora 5

The problem is that libgvc.so.3 is not in your dynamic library search 
path.  That's true by default for FC5, it is in /usr/lib64/graphviz on a 
x86_64 FC5 box.

The proper solution is to fix the FC5 graphviz installation to tell ld.so 
about the location.  A simpler way is to add /usr/lib64/graphviz to the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH: on our servers we have edited R_HOME/etc/ldpaths to do 
so, so we have

: ${R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${R_HOME}/lib:/usr/local/lib64:/opt/export/lib64:/usr/lib6
4/graphviz}

If you don't have permissions to do this, set it in your personal 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.


BTW, asking questions about installing Bioconductor is best done on their 
mailing list, not R-help.

I'm pretty sure that you will have problems with graphviz 2.13 and
that you will need to use graphviz 2.12.
