Install Ggobi & Rggobi (for developers)

Requirements:

• Gtk2
• gob2 2.0.14 (GObject Builder)
• libxml2
• R (if installing Rggobi)
• Subversion(svn)
• libtool 1.15.22
• automake (1.9.6 is good)
• gettext 0.14.5
• gtk-doc
• Vala
• libgsf

for Mac specific notes on installing requirements see bottom of page

Steps:

svn co http://ggobi.org/svn/ggobi/ggobi/trunk ggobi
cd ggobi
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-debug 
make

After the first time run svn up then make

You can then run ggobi using ./ggobi

Installing rggobi

You first must have GGobi installed (eg. sudo make install. Make sure you have the following environmental variables set:

DISPLAY=0.0.0.0:0

Note: The exact commands depends on what type of shell you are running, so you'd modify the above by either preceding with "setenv " and dropping the "=", OR "export ".

Then

svn co http://www.ggobi.org/svn/ggobi/interface/rggobi/trunk/rggobi 
cd rggobi
aclocal
autoconf # you should only need to run these steps the first time you download it
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ R CMD INSTALL .

Then run library(rggobi) from within R.

Mac specific notes

Make sure you have the latest version (>= 2.4) of Xcode, and X11 installed from your install dvd.

I'd recommend MacPorts to install the requirements. After you have installed macports, run the following code:

sudo port install gtk2 gtk-doc libxml2 automake libtool graphviz subversion
ln -s /opt/local/bin/glibtool /opt/local/bin/libtool
ln -s /opt/local/bin/glibtoolize /opt/local/bin/libtoolize

You will need to install gob2 by hand (eg. download, ./configure;make;sudo make install)
