A brief note on how to install rattle/RGtk2 on macOS
What is the solution to the below?
~/Downloads -> R CMD INSTALL RGtk2_2.20.34.tar.gz
During startup - Warning messages:
1: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C"
2: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C"
3: Setting LC_MONETARY failed, using "C"

configure: error: GTK version 2.8.0 required
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘RGtk2’

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?

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.
