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

[Byron Ellis]

You probably didn't properly install graphviz since it clearly can't  
find libneato (which is part of graphviz). If you really did 'make  
install' you probably want to 'sudo make install' to put them in /usr/ 
local/lib (unless you did something weird to your prefix, which can  
also happen).
