installation problems GTK+ package

Hi all,

I just tried to install metaXCMS on my new Mac (OSX 10.8.3, R3.0.0). I did however not succeed. I followed the installation guidelines given on the scripps website. I guess it has something to do with the loading of the GTK+ package: after installing this package after loading the cairodevice, other packages in R keep on asking to install the GTK+ package and metaXCMS does not install. This is what I get:


'.find.package' is deprecated.
Use 'find.package' instead.
See help("Deprecated")

Did you install GTK+ from http://r.research.att.com/libs/GTK_2.18.5-X11.pkg ?

Also make sure that the cairoDevice package is installed.

you need to be able to load the packages
Code: [Select]
library(cairoDevice)
library(RGtk2)

Hi Ralf,
I got around the problem of R repeatedly asking for the installation of GTK+. It turned out to be a version problem: On OSX 10.8.3 you need the GTK_2.24.17-X11 package (not the GTK 2.18.5-X11 that automatically loads. I still do not succeed in installing metaXCMS. It tends to install, as I just see a flash of metaXCMS, but this window quickly disappears after opening, generating in the following error message:

R is crashing with a segfault when trying to run GTK.
I guess I would try to completely remove GTK+ and RGtk and then reinstall, maybe even on on a new R installation.
If that doesn't help you would need to contact the maintainer of the RGtk2 package.

We also have an alpha-release of the online version of metaXCMS available if you want to try it I can give you some details via PM.
