At least on my Macbook pro, this is true (at least it works for me without
failing). Jenny, if
you use biocLite, make sure that you set the type="source" to build it from
source.

I don't have access to a windows machine at the moment, but this also
happened on my mac a few months back (always with the agopen and agwrite).
After I grab the lastest X-code (with the latest compliers) and built both
graphviz and Rgraphviz from source on the (also following Martin's advice to
make sure that all previous incarnations of graphviz were completely removed
before building graphviz again), this problem seems to have gone away.

I should say ditto for me too now!
