I seem to have some missing or broken parts to my Leopard installation. After again attempting to install the Gtk+ dmg inked from the http://r.research.att.com/#other page I get no error. But attempting to build from source a bioconductor package, Ruuid, I am again seeing an error

checking for pkg-config... no


You have to set
PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Resources/bin:$PATH
if you want to compile GTK+ packages from sources (although that should not be necessary because BioC provides binaries ...). Also the choice of compilers can be tricky with GTK+...

... that I have seen several times before, as well as one which Mark Morgan on r-help says is due to a missing Gtk+ library.

(I had been able to install the Ruuid package within the 32 bit R GUI. And I can also build biocLite from source from the 64 bit GUI without any reported errors.)

What should I be looking for to understand and restore my defective pkg-config capabilities?
