Thanks for caring. With this last fix playwith() could be an optimal
substitution of the Windows "register" graphics tool.
Unfortunately the practical side is quite hard and, up now, unsuccessful.
It takes hours to understand that 'pkg-config' is a system library, not an
R-package,
that installed GTK components are insufficient, you have to guess which one
of the 33 to-be-installed libgtk2 libraries are required
and then finally compilation an linkage start progressing when you discover
that 'cairoDevice()', this time an R component (??), has to be installed by
its self but ... here I am stuck, see error below: two members of DevDesc
appear as missing!!
Do you have any suggestion on how to proceed?
To build from source you need to have development files installed. On
Debian-based distros, you will mostly look for *-dev packages. For
example, you will probably need to install r-base-dev. For playwith, I
expect that you will need at least libgtk2.0-dev. As for cairoDevice
[1], you will need libcairo2-dev, I think. Then follow the error
messages for potential missing development files.
