[R] problem with RGtk

[David Winsemius]

I take back what I said about not being able to use RGtk2 with the 64- 
bit mac. I (just today, for the first time ) can now get RGtk2 to load  
and then to get rgl to run properly. I had been able to run rgl in the  
32 bit system but that was not satisfactory.  I had earlier installed  
the 2.18 version of Gtk2+ from the att.research.com site. It's  
possible that you got there from the CRAN website since they do have a  
link that displays inside a CRAN frame.

So it looks like you need to get this file:

http://r.research.att.com/libs/GTK_2.18.5-X11.pkg

It's possible that I failed to restart my system and that was needed.  
I don't know.

And then install RGtk2 and  gWidgetsRGtk2 and any dependencies and  
then load RGtk.

Best;
David.
