RGTK2 (Massimo)

the problem was that the  R-cran GUI  "for Package-
installation"   ... check its external dependencie  in /usr/local
(it do not see my .profile ! )
this is wrong.

i succesfool installed it by command line
first i type in the bash :

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH      (this line is  also included in
my .profile)

so i installed RGTK-2   with  R CMD INSTALL ...

then i installed  RGgobi  :

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ R CMD INSTALL /Users/
epifanio/Desktop/rggobi_2.1.4-1.tar.gz

now is all OK  :-)

thanks to all comunity for your great work!
regards.

I dont know why it is failing the macports install as I have gtk2
(gtk2.10) installed without problems. You may want to try in the
macports mailing list (at http://www.macports.org).

Anyway, even if you install it this way it is not going to work for
you because R and macports use different compilers and the installed
RGtk2 package behaves incorrectly (different structure sizes). You
have to manually install the gtk package and its dependencies -that
happens to be the ones in the error message of the macports log- with
the same compiler used to compile R (found in /usr/local/gcc4.0). If
you have a macports installation it is better to move the directory
while you install the new gtk and RGtk2 packages as if not you are
going to enter into problems (as I did) with the different versions.
It is a little bit tedious but it works.

I was told by Michael Lawrence, the maintainer and co-author of the
package that an easy to install solution is on the way, but no idea
when it will come into life.

If anyone has a better way to deal with this please let me know.

HTH,

Diego.
