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

[Robert Gentleman]

Hi,
  I think Byron is essentially right, and his advice will almost surely 
fix your problem. You might also try and set your LD_LIBRARY path (there 
seems to be some sort of disconnect between your building of Rgraphviz 
and your running of R, possibly these are done from different accounts 
and the right libraries are not being found?)

  And, also Rgraphviz has a configure script and you should be able to 
use the --with-graphviz flag. Please see the R Extensions manual for 
more details on how that works.

  Best wishes,
   Robert
