Hi,

A short recap (Rattle still not working):

- Installed GTK from http://r.research.att.com/- Installed GGOBI
- Installed R latest
- Finally installed rggobi 
2.1.14 from BioConductor Bin (can load it without error as well)
- Installed rattle with dependencies

Rattle not 
rattling, still this damn warning: R:2547): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to find default local directory monitor type (see 
Richard post for the detail)

Cheers,
Morgan

Hi,

I have the exact same problem here. 

I looked around and it 
seems that "rggobi" is a required dependency. I tried 
to install it different ways but it always fails:

* installing 
*source* package ?rggobi? ...
checking for pkg-
config... no
checking for GGOBI... configure: error: The pkg-config 
script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure 
it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to 
the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may 
set the environment variables GGOBI_CFLAGS
and GGOBI_LIBS to 
avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man 
page for more details.

To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.See`config.log' for more details.
ERROR: configuration 

failed for package ?rggobi?
* removing ?/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.11/Resources/library/rggobi?

Les 

packages t?l?charg?s sont dans
	?/private/var/folders/m3/m3AtKey5G98OKxQeAccax++++TI/-Tmp-

/RtmpnNSqSu/downloaded_packages?

That's where I am...so far

Regards,
Morgan

Simon, Morgan,

I have the latest version of 
Rattle, 
2.5.30, correctly installed, I  
think, and running on R version 2.11.0 Patched (2010-05-01 r51879)  
under OS 
X 
10.5.8.  I have the same problem as you, Morgan, i.e., the  
Gtk warning "Unable to find default local directory 

monitor type".   
Here is a run that provokes the message:

The rattle() function seems to start X11.  This takes some time.  When  
the X11 console finally 
appears, 
ensure that Data is the active tab  
and Source is set to Spreadsheet.  Click the Filename button.  On my  


installation that is sufficient to cause the warning.  Is that your  
experience, Morgan?  It might be necessary to 

begin browsing in the  
Select A File dialog.  In that case, select All Files in the file type  
dropdown, navigate 
to, 
say, a tab-separated file, and click Open.  I  
enclose such a file for your convenience.

Richard
