[R-SIG-Mac] installing Rgraphviz

[Patrick Aboyoun]

Jarrett,
This is a Bioconductor related question and really should be addressed 
on the Bioconductor mailing list. The sort answer is if you are running 
on a Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) box, you will need to build both graphviz and 
Rgraphviz from source in order to use the package. If you are running on a
Mac OS X 10.5 (Tiger) box, continue reading.

The issue is that graphviz.org distributes their latest version of 
Graphviz for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) only and we use that when we build 
our mac.binary.leopard version of Rgraphviz. I am guessing that you are 
using the cross Mac OS X pre-compiled version of R, which uses the 
mac.binary build of the package from our Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) build 
machine that has an old (unmaintained) version of graphviz on it. I 
recommend that all Bioconductor users running on leopard to use a 
leopard-only build of R available at http://r.research.att.com/, since 
that is what we use on our build machine. These leopard only R binaries 
download, via biocLite, mac.binary.leopard versions of the packages that 
are produced by our Leopard machine. These leopard only binaries have 
the added benefit of 64-bit Intel support so end-users don't have to 
build their own packages once they leave the 32-bit world.
