Dear rattle users on mac os 10.5.6
I am trying to install rattle on my mac os 10.5.6
I followed all the installation steps in the webpage on rattle. However 
the execution has problems:


library(rattle)
Rattle, Graphical interface for data mining using R
Version 2.4.53. Copyright (C) 2006-2009 Togaware Pty Ltd
Type "rattle()" to shake, rattle, and roll your data.

X11 is already installed on my system
X11 is launched before lauching the R command line, and this does not 
solve the pb.

We would appreciate any help.

libglade is not an R package.  It comes with the Gtk+ dmg
that you can get from http://r.research.att.com/

There appears to be a problem with your Gtk+ installation.
