Hi all, No luck exploring other avenues to find a solution - asking users (mostly students, computer novices) to install homebrew in order to install gtk+ isn't a viable option.
Does anyone (Simon?) know if anything will be done on the CRAN side to compile and provide binaries for RGtk2 (and a handful of other packages)?

I tried to compile, received the same error as you, installed gtk+ and compiled successfully.
