Nope, this was installed from source. I'm running R 2.4.1. The
error message I gave was after installing graphviz 2.12 from source.
I have since tried installing graphviz 1.16 from source, as was
listed in one of the past messages on this listserv, but it did not
install any libgvc that I can tell. Is there a particular version of
graphviz that I should install to make this work?
Also, I installed Rgraphviz from the bioconductor binary using the R
package manager, including all dependencies.
What version of graphviz do I need to install from source? Or, will
the package be fixed soon to reflect the most current version? Or
can I just make a symbolic link to the new dynlib to trick the
package into working (I am not above workarounds)?
Thanks!
