[R-SIG-Mac] ERROR installing source package RGtk2 on mac os x 10.4.11

[Simon Urbanek]

Corrado,

although you gave use too little information to really help you (we  
need the full error and config.log at least), I'd like to warn you  
first that compiling Gtk and RGtk2 from sources is very, very tedious  
task and only for experts familiar with its intricacies (Gtk has many  
dependencies, cannot be built universally and requires own versions of  
several system libraries). We provide binaries for rggobi, RGtk2 as  
well as Gtk, so unless you have a very good reason for re-compiling  
RGtk, I'd strongly urge you not to try it.

Cheers,
Simon
