[Bioc-devel] [BioC] Bioconductor1.6(Rgraphviz etc.) install problem with red hat9.0

[xinan yang]

Hi Robert,

You are right, the package GDD is not necessary.
But the package Rgraphviz stilol doesn"t work, even after I reinstalling 
everything.

I have download the graphviz-2.6.tar.gz
after typing:
$ tar -xvfz graphviz......
$ cd graphviz-2.6
$./configure
$make
$make check
$make install

Now, in R:
 > sessionInfo()
R version 2.2.0, 2005-10-06, i686-pc-linux-gnu

attached base packages:
[1] "methods"   "stats"     "graphics"  "grDevices" "utils"     "datasets"
[7] "base"
 > library(Rgraphviz)
Loading required package: graph
Loading required package: cluster
Loading required package: Ruuid
Creating a new generic function for 'print' in 'Ruuid'
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
        unable to load shared library 
'/usr/local/lib/R/library/Rgraphviz/libs/Rgraphviz.so':
  libdotneato.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory
Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'Rgraphviz'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'Rgraphviz'

But it is there:
$ cd /usr/local/lib/R/library/Rgraphviz/libs/
$ ls -al
total 108
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Nov 21 16:24 .
drwxr-xr-x   12 root     root         4096 Nov 21 16:24 ..
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        94257 Nov 21 16:24 Rgraphviz.so

What was wrong?
