Hi, 

the problem is R software, who check its external dependencies only in /usr/local. Thanks to a R archive, Gtk2 was recognised by first entering in the  bash the following line:  

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH  

Best regards,

Matthieu,

I am a bit of a newbie also.  Generally you can run " make check" after the "make install".  I don't know if ithat is still valid using macports.  It is likely the case, though I typically install manually so I may be in error.

Best regards,

Dear Macports Users, 

I am newbie to macports and even to the terminal. I needed gtk2 for compatibility with RGtk2 (a R stat software package). I thus installed mac ports (from binary), and  port install gtk2 without any problem. However, when trying to to install the R package (within R, of course), no GTK was detected (and installation failed). Checking the path in my ~/.profile gives: 

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

Thus, my --certainly-- basic question: what's wrong ? How  can I check that gtk2 was correctly installed (port installed indicates gtk2 was installed) and accessible ? 

Thanks a lot, 

Matthieu Dubois
