That may have messed things up if it modified your PATH environment settings. You should notice that the instructions on the http://rqda.r-forge.r-project.org/ page are to install the GTK+ binary from http://r.research.att.com/

So you are on a Mac. There's a special mailing list for us. Have you installed Xcode and the CLT?

You will need to read and foolw the advice at the top of the following page:

https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/

Have you searched StackOverflow? I found teh following answer there. (I think it's a bit incomplete since you should have the system variables set according to the Tools page, so I editted that answer.) But this looked like a starting point ... after setting environment variables and getting the Fortran compileras per above

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19645590/running-rattle-on-mac-os-x-10-9-mavericks/19719518#19719518

Do not reply to this mailing list (or to just me); rather send it to the R-SIG-Mac mailing list (after subscribing and reading the Posting Guide which it appears you have not done.)
