Dear listers,

I need you help on invoking Rgraphviz package in Mac OS X. It can be
installed, but I failed to invoke it.

Thanks in advance.

  Check that (1) graphviz is installed on your system; (2) the
  installed version of graphviz matches '2.24.0'; this is the version
  used to build this Rgraphviz package; (3) graphviz is accessible to
  R, e.g., the path to the graphviz 'bin' directory is in the system
  'PATH' variable.  See additional instructions in the 'README' file of
  the Rgraphviz 'source' distribution, available at

  http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/Rgraphviz.html
