The GTK_2.24.17-X11.pkg (ca. 41MB) version from http://r.research.att.com/ installs well enough, or so it seems, under Mountain Lion and R-3.0.1. When however I do the following, R crashes:
> library(rattle) Rattle: A free graphical interface for data mining with R. Version 2.6.26 r77 Copyright (c) 2006-2013 Togaware Pty Ltd.

I'd like of course to find a simple solution to getting RGtk2 properly installed, one preferably that can be suggested to relatively novice users. Are there relatively straightforward changes to operating system paths that are likely to fix the problem?
