before attempting installation of Rgraphviz again, be sure you have
installed graphviz from www.graphviz.org

to ensure that you have a good installation, be sure that you have
sufficient infrastructure to perform the following in a terminal:

bash-3.2$ pkg-config --modversion libgvc
2.24.0  # that's the answer you need to see

this would involve suitably setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
variable, perhaps in ~/.bashrc
