It's kind of strange that the GGobi package installs its header files (it is implicitly a devel package), but it does not bring in the devel packages of its dependencies. But aren't there binary Ubuntu/Debian packages on the repository for RGtk2 and rggobi? > > Michael Bibo > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
