I am working with R-2.12.0 on FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT for a while now. I successfully installed more than 300 packages (most as dependencies of others).

There are two packages I am not able to install: RGtk2 and rggobi.

For example rggobi builds fine and after that it wants to load:

------------------------------------------------------
# R CMD INSTALL rggobi_2.1.16.tar.gz
[..SNIP..]

** R

------------------------------------------------------

At this point the install process is hanging, R utilises no more CPU time. Same with package RGtk2.

Is this a known error? Please let me know if I can give more information or try something different.

Well, those are exactly the two packages using Gtk+.

There is no known general problem, and as you could have checked from the CRAN check pages, those packages install without problems on several platforms. (Not Solaris, where ggobi does not install and RGtk2 requires gcc, and not x64 Windows where both need to be patched.)

So it does look very like there is a problem with loading against the Gtk+ system libraries on your system.


Thanks in advance,
