Hi,	

I am currently trying to install the bioconductor package 'flowStats' which depends upon the bioconductor package 'Rgraphviz'. As I understand from the Rgraphviz github there may be some issues with getting it installed on 12.04 which should be fixed by using the bundled Graphviz. However I keep on getting the same issues even when using install_github from the devtools package, stating gvc.h: No such file or directory. Which is very weird, as gvc.h can be found (find / -iname gvc.h) in the usr/local/include/graphviz directory. On the other hand, when using the local graphviz installation by R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-graphviz=/usr/local' Rgraphviz_*.tar.gz I get the following output, that I cannot seem to understand:

 configure: Using external Graphviz.
 configure: Using Graphviz dir '/usr/local'
 configure: Found Graphviz version '2.38.0'.
 configure: Graphviz major version is '2' and minor version is '38'.

Does anybody have some pointers here? I have been trying a lot of things, including compiling from source and using github package versions and so on so I would be very happy if somebody can help me out.
