rattle doesnt rattle

Edit: 

I think I am a little step further now. If I try to rattle()  I am asked whether I want to install GTK+ or not. If I do so I get the following:

Checksumming Driver Descriptor Map (DDM : 0)?

!!!!!!!   The file /Volumes/GTK+ 2.14.3 run-time/gtk2-runtime.pkg does not exist.

hdiutil: detach failed - No such file or directory
Learn more about GTK+ at http://www.gtk.org
If the package still does not load, please ensure that GTK+ is installed and that it is on your PATH environment variable
IN ANY CASE, RESTART R BEFORE TRYING TO LOAD THE PACKAGE AGAIN

I guess the marked line is where the problem is. I had issues with pathnames before when interacting with RPostgreSQL, so this could possibly be the case here too. Can I change the pathname somehow ?

Dear all, 

I read about rattle in the most recent issue of the R Journal and wanted to test it. As described in the manual I installed Gtk before, which does work. I know that it works because I used ggobi outside of R which claims to need to same package. Anyway I did install rattle using

install.packages("rattle") which installed the package and several dependencies. 
as well as
install.packages("RGtk2"

and I did restart my console. 

When I wanted to start rattle by typing rattle() to the console it just says: 

Error in .Call(name, ..., PACKAGE = PACKAGE) : 
 C Symbolname "S_gtk_about_dialog_get_type" not in DLL f?r Paket "RGtk2"

I always thought DLL are for windows? Did I get the wrong version somehow?

Thx in advance for any suggestions !

best 

bunny
