I am trying to install rggobi_2.1.20.tar.gz on a Mac OS X with ggobi installed in an unusual location. ggobi is installed in ~/localInstall. I have set the following variables:

export GGOBI_CFLAGS='-I/Users/cdesjard/localInstall/include/ggobi'
export GGOBI_LIBS='-L/Users/cdesjard/localInstall/lib/'

When I run R CMD install, I get the following:

cehd-m1651448:Downloads cdesjard$ R CMD install rggobi_2.1.20.tar.gz

Any thoughts? I am guessing I have my CFLAGS and LIBS aren't set up in correct. I have homebrew installed and that's how I installed GTK+2. It is located at ~/.homebrew/homebrew, if that helps.

It looks like you need pkg-config installed, as well as the GTK+ devel package (with the headers and the .pc file for pkgconfig). Then, make sure PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set to the pkgconfig directory that contains the gtk+-2.0.pc (or similar) file.

Sorry, for the late response doing:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=-L'/Users/cdesjard/.homebrew/homebrew/Cellar/gtk+/2.24.30/lib/pkgconfig/'

Made no any difference.

And I had installed pkg-config in:
~./homebrew/homebrew/Cellar/pkg-config

Thanks,
Chris

Well for one thing, there shouldn't be a "-L" in PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
pkg-config is not a linker.

Sorry, that -L flag wasn't meant to be there and removing it doesn't change the error message.

What does the exact configure output look like now?

Looks like pkg-config is not in your PATH. Or at least, configure
cannot find the binary.
