Thanks to all who pointed this out.
$sudo port install graphviz
did the trick for me, now all dependencies are met.  Yeah!

Re: [O] org mode in press

2012-01-28 Thread Christian Wittern
I think this is an excellent article, introducing an aspect of org-mode, 
which I think fills a gap that no other software I know of comes even close 
to approach.  I already started mentioning it in conversations and am sure 
it will be very useful to many members of the academic community.


Just to make sure I could answer any follow up questions, I downloaded the 
replication bundle and started installing the dependencies.  I encountered a 
few problems and hope this is the right place to discuss them.  BTW, I am 
working with this on a Mac OS X 10.6 machine.


Most of the dependencies I already had or  installed them from macports.  
One problem I encountered was with installing the RSQLite package.  
Executing the installation command from the README file did not work because 
of permission issues, the command needs to run with superuser rights.  Is it 
possible to give these rights to commands run from babel?  Since I did not 
find a way to do that, I installed from the R commandline, where I found 
that the name of the package is RSQLite, not 'RSQlite' as given in the 
readme file.


The one dependency I could not solve was the 'dot' executable.  I assume 
this is an interpreter for the dot language, for which it seems the program 
on the Mac is named graphviz.  However, I am not sure how to make that work 
with org/babel.  Should I simply symlink to graphviz?  Or is there a babel 
variable to be set?  This is a point that probably needs some explanation, 
at least for Mac users (I realize that the articel might not have been 
intended as such a general introduction with details for all common OSses, 
but it would be nice if this can be gradually supplemented).


One last remark; since this is an online publication, I think using proper 
fontification for the examples and org source code would be even more 
appealing, especially for people who encounter org for the first time.


Keep up the excellent work!!

On linux, the graphviz package install a bunch of libraries and a bunch of
commands. The commands are:

,
|Graph layout programs
|dotfilter for hierarchical layouts of graphs
| 
|neato  filter for symmetric layouts of graphs
| 
|twopi  filter for radial layouts of graphs
| 
|circo  filter for circular layout of graphs
| 
|fdpfilter for symmetric layouts of graphs
| 
|All of the filters work with either directed or undirected graphs, 
though dot  is  typically

that neato -n[2] can be
|used to render layouts produced by the other filters.

There is no graphviz executable as such. I would expect a similar setup
on MacOS. The man page refers to http://www.graphviz.org/Documentation.php

I would also like to thank you for this great article and org-mode in
general. I learned a few things about variables and chaining that I did not
know about. Since I discovered org-mode, I have come to rely upon it as my
extended memory for professional as well as domestic ideas and problems
that I encounter. I keep one big notes.org file in which my first level
headlines is the current date, and my second order headline usually
contains a Done/Todo which is a checklist of things that I have to do. I
also love the embedded code (though I wish it was possible to syntax
highlight it!), external links, and tables.

Thanks again!

Wonderful.


 Just to make sure I could answer any follow up questions, I downloaded

 package.  Executing the installation command from the README file did
 not work because of permission issues, the command needs to run with
 superuser rights.

This is surprising, on the two GNU/Linux distributions I've tested this
on I am prompted to pick an R install directory which defaults to ~/R in
my home directory so no super-user privileges are required.  My original
motivation for switching from OSX to GNU/Linux was precisely this sort
of weird Mac-specific library install issues across a number of tools
(most notably LaTeX).  Although, a couple of years after switching my
reasons for not switching back are legion. :)

 Is it possible to give these rights to commands run from babel?  Since
 I did not find a way to do that, I installed from the R commandline,
 where I found that the name of the package is RSQLite, not 'RSQlite'
 as given in the readme file.
