Excellent! And just to confirm -- this will only work within the
X11 environment, not the Cocoa/Quartz GUI, right?
It works just fine with the GUI, but the windows it's creating will
use X11, not native Cocoa. The native version of GTK+ is unfortunately
not stable enough yet.
Cheers,

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
