[BioC] FW: Graphviz in Vista64

[Sim, Fraser]

Hi Kasper,

The graphviz installations that I have tried include the following
versions downloaded from http://www.graphviz.org/ :

2.20.3 - In R, loads Rgraphviz package fine but crashes when layout
performed. Also, GVedit.exe did not work correctly and the graphViz
developer, Arif, suggested I try the developer version.

Tried both:
 graphviz-2.21.20090202.1215.msi
 graphviz-mingw-2.21.20090202.1215.msi

Both versions worked via GVedit.exe. The package loads but now with a
warning. RGUI.EXE continues to crash on attempts to perform
layoutGraph().

The term 'crash' here means, a pop-up dialog from Vista informing me
that RGUI.EXE has stopped working and Windows will close the program.
There are no additional details.

I have installed and used Rgraphviz on a number of XP32 boxes and so am
familiar with the quirks required to get it working. This is an entirely
different problem.

I have switched to Vista64 to work with larger datasets requiring
additional memory.

Thanks,
Fraser

Most likely something is wrong with your graphviz installation, but  
since you don't provide any details about that, it is impossible to  
help. We would also like to see the actual crash output from R or a  
better description of what you mean by "crash"
