I am working with R-2.12.0 on FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT for a while now. I 
successfully installed more than 300 packages (most as dependencies of 
others).

There are two packages I am not able to install: RGtk2 and rggobi.

For example rggobi builds fine and after that it wants to load:

------------------------------------------------------
# R CMD INSTALL rggobi_2.1.16.tar.gz
[..SNIP..]
gcc -std=gnu99 -shared -L/usr/local/lib -o rggobi.so RSEval.o brush.o 
colorSchemes.o conversion.o data.o dataset.o display.o displays.o 
edges.o ggobi.o identify.o init.o io.o keyHandlers.o longitudinal.o 
modes.o plot.o plots.o plugins.o print.o session.o smooth.o ui.o utils.o 
-pthread -L/usr/local/lib -lggobi -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lxml2 -lgdk-x11-2.0 
-latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lXext -lXrender -lXinerama 
-lXi -lXrandr -lXcursor -lXcomposite -lXdamage -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgio-2.0 
-lXfixes -lcairo -lX11 -lpango-1.0 -lm -lfreetype -lfontconfig 
-lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0
installiert nach /usr/local/lib/R/library/rggobi/libs
** R
** data
**  moving datasets to lazyload DB
** demo
** preparing package for lazy loading
------------------------------------------------------

At this point the install process is hanging, R utilises no more CPU 
time. Same with package RGtk2.

Is this a known error? Please let me know if I can give more information 
or try something different.

Thanks in advance,
Rainer Hurling
