[R-SIG-Mac] RGTK2

[Diego Diez]

I dont know why it is failing the macports install as I have gtk2  
(gtk2.10) installed without problems. You may want to try in the  
macports mailing list (at http://www.macports.org).

Anyway, even if you install it this way it is not going to work for  
you because R and macports use different compilers and the installed  
RGtk2 package behaves incorrectly (different structure sizes). You  
have to manually install the gtk package and its dependencies -that  
happens to be the ones in the error message of the macports log- with  
the same compiler used to compile R (found in /usr/local/gcc4.0). If  
you have a macports installation it is better to move the directory  
while you install the new gtk and RGtk2 packages as if not you are  
going to enter into problems (as I did) with the different versions.  
It is a little bit tedious but it works.

I was told by Michael Lawrence, the maintainer and co-author of the  
package that an easy to install solution is on the way, but no idea  
when it will come into life.

If anyone has a better way to deal with this please let me know.

HTH,

Diego.


P.D.
i think i have sent the reply to you two times, sorry.
