There is no binary Ruuid that shows up in the BioConductor repository
with the 64bit GUI Package Installer, although there is a version that
is downloadable with the 32 bit version.
$ PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Resources/bin:$PATH
$ echo $PATH
/Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Resources/dev/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/
usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin:/
usr/X11R6/bin
(There is no /bin folder in the /Resources/ sub-directory when I look
with Finder.app. Should it have been /Library/Frameworks/GTK
+.framework/Resources/dev/bin ? Nope. Tried changing first entry in
PATH to that and no joy.)
So am still getting same error:
(I am wondering if there is a better way to test the Gtk+ installation
that compiling a bioc pkg?)
