Dear Simon,
First of all many thanks for the guidance and more generally for the
great stuff you do for the R Mac community.
On the environment, I have added the line you suggested to
both .bash_profile and .profile, but R does not seem to be looking
there (bash certainly does). Where does the GUI R get the environment
definitions from? And more generally where can I look more closely to
the startup process for R GUI as I have not yet managed to get it to
read the ~/.Rprofile file (and the definitions therein) properly [I
have tinkered with the preferences with no success]
On the availability of the binary for RGtk2 on CRAN and its mirrors, I
am afraid that it does not appear in the ones I have tried (Munchen
and the first US). Should I be using another mirror that is more
"complete"?
If I may, could I suggest an addition and one modification to the
keyboard shortcuts for R GUI? The addition would be to add "run
function definition", possibly as shift-cmd-return, to take multiline
commands in R, something usually done for more involved call (such as
aggregate, merge, etc.). Also, could the default cmd-return (or a
variation of it) then move the cursor to the next command/uncommented
line? This would reduce the required keystrokes of my tipical
sessions by half. Many thanks in advance for considering this.
kind regards,
ivan

Dear all,
Installing the dependencies of rattle (http://datamining.togaware.com/survivor/Install_Macintosh.html
), I encountered a problem installing the RGtk2 library from
source. It appears that the GTK+ libraries can't be found by R (I
had successfully installed the runtime libraries from http://r.research.att.com/)
.
I would much appreciate some guidance as to how to get R to look in
the right place (/Library/Frameworks/) for the the GTK+ shared
objects. Many thanks in advance.
If you have your environment set correctly this is automatic.
However, from your output it seems you don't so make sure you set
something like:
export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Resources/bin:$PATH
Also make sure you're not setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH anywhere (this is
usually not the case, but it appears you have another pkg-config
installed) and if you do (and want to use it), you must make sure
the framework path to .pc is first.
Cheers,
Simon
(BTW: normally you should not need to install RGtk2 from sources
since it's available on CRAN).
Kind regards,
Ivan
