This is likely the problem right here. Rgraphviz can be particular
about the version of graphviz that you use.
It works on my system with 2.26.3, which you can get here:

http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/macos/snowleopard/graphviz-2.26.3.pkg

(Don't worry about the 'snowleopard' in the directory name; this
version will work on Leopard or Lion as well).

You should doublecheck that graphviz is indeed in your path; maybe all
that's necessary is to add it.
Try this command in a terminal window:

which neato

If it returns something, then graphviz is in your path, otherwise it's not.
