Hi Professor Brian Ripley, Thanks for your help, >>Our experience is >> >>- the X11 installation on Solaris is too old for these packages.

Do you suggest to use the new X11 from OpenCSW to replace the one shipped with Solaris, and do you have any procedural guides. >>- we failed to build RGtk2 with the SunStudio compiler, and had to use >>gcc. I used SunStudio building R, do we need to use the same compiler for both R and Packages? I followed the guides in https://www.initworks.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=6521038 to build R with SunStudio, is there some similar guides when using gcc? >>Note that nothing in this message is about 'building rattle' (your >>subject line): it is about installing packages rattle's GUI depends >>on.

Yes, I am trying to install the packages which are dependent by Rattle, and RGtk2 is the first one. >>Note that in R terminolgy (see Writing R Extensions), building a >>package (R CMD build) is not the same thing as installing one (R CMD >>INSTALL). Actually I am new to R, and don't really know the differences between building and installing packages. The R CMD INSTALL command just can install packages from source code.
