Dear all,
I would like to ask about package RGtk2 with which I have a problem.
I will very much appreciate if somebody could tell me what I need to do.
I need to install a  package scdMicro and it depends on gWidgetsRGtk2.
I am working on MAC, version 10.5.8.

It is also helpful to give your architecture (i386, x86_64, ppc).

I have the latest R version (2.10.1).
When I try to load gWidgetsRGtk2 (or RGtk2), it asks me:
"Instal GTK+?"

I installed RGtk2 (version 2.14.3 from http://r.research.att.com/gtk2-runtime.dmg ),

That is a version of Gtk+ aka GTK2, not RGtk2, and as the http://r.research.att.com page says, it is the wrong one for your OS version.

and added a path:

export PATH=$PATH:/Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Resources/bin

Why?  Nothing in RGtk2 is running executables.

But next time I try to load gWidgetsRGtk2 (or RGtk2), I get the same message: "Instal GTK+?" And of course all packages dependent from RGtk2 are not loading.

I also tried to install GTK 2.18.5-X11.pkg (from http://r.research.att.com/libs/GTK_2.18.5-X11.pkg ) - but in this case when I try to load RGtk2 - R hangs.

That's the setup that should work. But do check that you have the correct version of RGtk2 installed, since a couple of versions did hang on startup (from memory, one was 2.12.16). The current binary version is 2.12.15 (which works for me on i386 and x86_64), but the source version is at 2.12.18.

Thank you very much in advance. I will appreciate very much any suggestions.
