Edit: I think I am a little step further now. If I try to rattle() I am asked whether I want to install GTK+ or not. If I do so I get the following:

The file /Volumes/GTK+ 2.14.3 run-time/gtk2-runtime.pkg does not exist. hdiutil: detach failed - No such file or directory Learn more about GTK+ at http://www.gtk.org If the package still does not load, please ensure that GTK+ is installed and that it is on your PATH environment variable IN ANY CASE, RESTART R BEFORE TRYING TO LOAD THE PACKAGE AGAIN I guess the marked line is where the problem is. I had issues with pathnames before when interacting with RPostgreSQL, so this could possibly be the case here too. Can I change the pathname somehow ?
