[BioC] Rgraphviz load problem

[Seth Falcon]

Hi Daniel,

Can you tell us how you installed R, graphviz, and Rgraphviz?  And
what compilers you have installed?

If you install the binary version of R, then I suspect you will have
the best luck with the binary graphviz install and binary Rgraphviz
package.  OTOH, if you want to compile packages from source, it is
safest to also compile R from source.  The reason is that you can then
be sure that the compiles all match up.

I think you should try installing the binary version of graphviz
available from the att website:

  http://r.research.att.com/

And then install Rgraphviz via biocLite to obtain the binary version.

This looks to me like you have installed a binary version of R and not
built from source.

I think the binary version of R quite purposely ignores it, but you
would have to ask for details on the r-sig-mac list.

No, that looks about right for OSX.

And that looks fine too.  But unless you install Rgrphviz from source
you can't link it to your newer graphviz libs and I'm not certain this
will work for you since you may have compiler mismatch issues with
R...
