[R-SIG-Mac] R2.11 Rattle & Co

Thu May 6 22:25:40 CEST 2010

Great update....

I finally manager to get rattle working... I still have the GTK warnings but rattle works !!! Despite 
the language of my system is set to english, it was the clue.

Here's the detailed and working procedure for Mac OSX 
and R2.11

0) Make sure X11 is installed (if not install it from your restore DVDs)
1) Install latest GTK from GTK_2.
18.5-X11.pkg (http://r.research.att.com/libs/GTK_2.18.5-X11.pkg
2) Install GGOBI from http://www.ggobi.org/downloads/ggobi-2.1.8.dmg3) Install R from http://www.r-project.org/(I also 
installed gfortran-4.2.3.dmg and tcltk-8.5.5-x11.dmg)
4) Launch R
5) Quit R (4&5 create the R preference plist used in 
6)
6) Launch terminal and execute: defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8
7) Launch R and
> install.
packages("rattle", dependencies=c("Depends", "Suggests"))
8) Start up Rattle
> library(rattle)
> rattle()

Test on my 
two mac running 10.6.3. Does it work for you guys too?

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.

Regards,
Richard
