@cratzdo The most recent commit to cairo.rb removed the --with-x11
option. I used brew edit cairo
to replace the Formula with the one at: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/1fea60405bf98c6385dfba18c75a7fb667dc3a40/Formula/cairo.rb.
@jamesmnw for(i in 1:1000000){print("THANKS")} That hidden error in the cairo build of ignoring the -x11 flag caused me days of grief. Thanks for pointing that out. Your edit worked perfectly, allowing the rest of the instructions to work. I can now Rattle and RQDA and the world is a better place. :-)
@milti, follow @jamesmnw's advice and make sure to brew reinstall --with-x11 cairo
after editing the cairo formula.
Thanks for your detailed advice. But it is still frustrating for me.
After typing "brew install --build-from-source --verbose gtk+" , I received "Error: gtk+ 2.24.32 did not build"
Please help me out. It's too hard for me.
The key to success for me was to use @jamesmnw advice and edit the configuration file for cairo using the formula supplied in his post and build. After that gtk+ build without errors. I could then just follow the instructions to install RGtk2 and cairodevice + rattle. To bad they messed up Homebrews version of cairo and caused all these problems
Hello,
I need help. I am at step 8 with "brew edit gtk+"
When I am done editing the last two lines in df install, I do not know how to save or quit in the terminal.
I did run export EDITOR = vim.
I hope I provided info for troubleshooting.
Thanks a lot.
What is the solution to the below?
~/Downloads -> R CMD INSTALL RGtk2_2.20.34.tar.gz
During startup - Warning messages:

As directed the version of GTK I manage to install is 2.24.32_2. But for RGtk2 it needs 2.8.0? Could you elaborate on the exact steps to perform to achieve this please?
As I just pointed out in a comment under @zhiyzuo's post (https://zhiyzuo.github.io/installation-rattle/#comment-3944233914), the whole thing can be simplified to this:
system('brew install gtk+')
local({
if (Sys.info()[['sysname']] != 'Darwin') return()
.Platform$pkgType = 'mac.binary.el-capitan'
unlockBinding('.Platform', baseenv())
assign('.Platform', .Platform, 'package:base')
lockBinding('.Platform', baseenv())
options(
pkgType = 'both', install.packages.compile.from.source = 'always',
repos = 'https://macos.rbind.org'
)
})
install.packages(c('RGtk2', 'cairoDevice', 'rattle'))
No more struggling with editing the gtk+
formula :)
thx,it work!
I am getting this when doing "R CMD INSTALL RGtk2_2.20.33.tar.gz"
configure: error: GTK version 2.8.0 required
I am on MacOS Sierra 10.12.6, R version is 3.4.2
When I did "brew install --build-from-source --verbose gtk+" it installed GTK 2.24.31_1
I encountered same problem. Did you solve it?
does anyone have any idea what the issue is with this load error for RGtk2?
