The graphviz headers and libs are most likely somewhere under /usr/local/. That is the default "prefix" used for almost all code when you do "./configure; make; make install". Have look under /usr/local/lib or possibly /usr/local/lib/graphviz. See if you can find a directory called pkgconfig that contains a file called libgvc.pc. Now let's assume you found this dir here: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. > And just to make sure that I'm giving you all the information you > might need to help me: (1) FinkCommander tells me that I have > graphviz 1.9-11 installed. I think it will be better to try to use graphviz-2.8 which you installed from source. Since you are using fink, you can (and should) install the pkgconfig package. This will give you an executable named pkg-config. Now you can try the following: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig R CMD INSTALL Rgraphviz_1.8.0.tar.gz The first line sets an environment variable. You may need to adjust the value to the actual path where you found the pkgconfig dir containing libgvc.pc. If you don't have the Rgraphviz source tarball handy, you can either download it from the Bioconductor website, or from the same shell where you just ran the export command to set the environment variable, do R > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R";) > biocLite("Rgraphviz") Let us know how things turn out. Quick aside: if you want to install to a specific place, say GVIZ-TEST under you home directory, you could do this: mkdir ~/GVIZ-TEST cd graphviz-2.8 ./configure --prefix=~/GVIZ-TEST make make install + seth _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
