[R-SIG-Mac] Re: [Ggobi-help] building ggobi on OS X: gtk+/xfree86 problem

[Byron Ellis]

You can actually build a Mac version without fink by using the Open 
Darwin packages (they use standard Mac .pkg files so you could 
conceivably create a ggobi mpkg) for the gtk dependencies. I managed to 
do it last December. There are some problems with various plugins 
unrelated to those packages, but thats a different issue. :-)

I'm pretty sure you need, dlcompat, gtk, iconv and perhaps others along 
with the Panther X11.
