Excellent! And just to confirm -- this will only work within the X11
environment, not the Cocoa/Quartz GUI, right?

Hi all:
I've got R 2.8.0 on MacOS X 10.4.11, and I'm trying to get RGtk2
working so I can use some other libaries that require it. When
installing it normally, it asks me if I want to install the GTK
runtime, which downloads but then fails to install. I manually
downloaded the GTK runtime installer from http://r.research.att.com/,
which installed fine, but R doesn't seem to "see" it (it continues to
ask me if I want to install GTK when trying to load the libary). Any
tricks to getting this to work? I feel like there might be an
environment variable missing someplace, but I have no idea what the
variable is nor how to define it permanently for R.
The GTK+ binary for R 2.8.0 has been updated and it uses a different
location to prevent messing up other packages. That makes it
incompatible with the old GTK used for R 2.7.2 and earlier. The new
binary is available from
http://r.research.att.com/libs/
To install paste in Terminal:
curl -s
http://r.research.att.com/libs/GTK+_2.14.3-X11-darwin8-bin2.tar.gz \
| sudo tar fvxz - -C /
There should be a proper package installer shortly, I was just waiting
for some feedback from selected developers first.
Cheers,
Simon
