[R-SIG-Mac] Problems with playwith package

[David Afshartous]

All,

I've installed the playwith package and the GTK libraries for MacOS as
instructed at playwith.googlecode.com.

However, invoking the playwith function seems to crash R.  Below is an
example for a simple clould plot.  Is there something else I need to do RE
setting up?

Cheers,
David
