[R-SIG-Mac] graphviz

[Michael Kubovy]

Hi Seth,

I installed graphviz 2.8 downloaded from http://www.graphviz.org/pub/ 
graphviz/ARCHIVE/graphviz-2.8.tar.gz and compiled using the commands
./configure
make
make install

It apparently succeeded.

However:
% which graphviz
graphviz: Command not found.

Moreover in R I have Rgraphviz 1.8.0, but

Now to my request:

You wrote to Julin:

Could you please unpack the above to an extent appropriate to the  
level of ignorance you see in my description? In other words I don't  
know about autoconf, or pkg-config, nor how to set the  
PKG_CONFIG_PATH  nor how to determine /blah/lib/pkgconfig what the  
appropriate 'blah' is.

And just to make sure that I'm giving you all the information you  
might need to help me: (1) FinkCommander tells me that I have  
graphviz 1.9-11 installed. (2) I have Graphviz Version 1.13 (16) from  
pixelglow. (I've successfully used it to generate graphs. As is  
probably clear, I'm trying to integrate graphviz into my R toolkit,  
which is not urgent, but would be satisfying.)

Thanks,
Michael
