Hi,

Got a question earlier this week on installing Rgraphviz and I'm having  
problems. Maybe
someone using it on Mac OS can help out here.

I pretty much followed the steps on Stefano's site (downloading  
graphviz-2.2 source,
./configure --without-tcltk, make and sudo make install. Seems to work  
fine.

During the 2nd step, installing Rgraphviz, the problem occurs. Either  
using R.app
or R CMD INSTALL ./Rgraphviz_1.5.0.tar.gz, results in:

trying URL  
`http://www.bioconductor.org/src/contrib/Rgraphviz_1.5.0.tar.gz'
Content type `application/x-gzip' length 660978 bytes
opened URL
==================================================
downloaded 645Kb

* Installing *source* package 'Rgraphviz' ...
checking for graphviz... checking for dotneato-config...  
/usr/local/bin/dotneato-config

Rgraphviz'
** Restoring previous

Rgraphviz'

Trying the previous version of Rgraphviz_1.4.0 results in the same  
problem. Found another
helpful note in the archives for Linux, but that didn't change anything.

Running 'dotneato-config --version' in a terminal returns 2.2 and  
'which dotneato-config' returns
  /usr/local/bin/dotneato-config.

This is on 10.3.8, latest R.app (1257) and Xcode 1.5 installed.

Any hints?

Thanks,
Rob

i wonder if this is related to a problem i had with graphviz a while back.

basically, dotneato-config was lying about where its libraries actually 
are.  ;)

fixing that fixed a lot of things in the build process.

Did anyone try to use the frameworks in the pixelglow version of  
graphviz ?

Emh,
effectively I've installed Rgraphviz 1.5.6 on R-devel, but I think is  
Rgraphviz more than R the problem here.

Just to update for other interested folks.

The procedure outlined on Stefano's site to install graphviz-2.2 works  
fine.
Then, select Rgraphviz_1.5.7.tar.gz to install in R. Download it from:

	(  
http://www.bioconductor.org/repository/devel/package/html/ 
Rgraphviz.html )

This is not (up to yesterday) the version that's on the BioConductor's  
list of source
packages (1.5.0), which didn't work for me.

Several folks helped out, thanks a lot,
Rob
