[R] problem to load the RGrace package

[Tomas Lanczos]

Hello everybody,

it looks that there is probably a problem with the libglade. I installed
the rattle package and after start I got the following errormessage:

> library(rattle)
Rattle, Graphical interface for data mining using R, Version 2.3.65.
Copyright (C) 2008 Togaware Pty Ltd
Type "rattle()" to shake, rattle, and roll your data.
> rattle()
Error in rattle() :
  The RGtk2 package did not find libglade installed. Please install it.

In the case of the RGrace it did not find the gladeXMLNew funktion which
also is a part the libglade. Now the question (maybe a stupid one) is,
where exactly the problem is, whether is it a libglade2 library or the
libglade belonging to the RGtk2 is not correctly installed... Does have
somebody an idea what should I do?
