Infrastructure Software

Hi, a few days ago I post the following message to r-devl mailing list,
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
We have tried to build rattle on Solaris 10 X86 platform, and the results are :
1. Package XML and pmml can be built.
2. Package RGtk2 can be built but can’t be installed because the installer can’t find GTK on Solaris, but it seems GTK has been preinstalled on Solaris 10, but I don’t know how to configure it.
3. There are errors when building the cairoDevice package , the error message is
-bash-3.00$ R CMD INSTALL cairoDevice
installing to library '/opt/R/R2-11-1/lib/R/library'

Then a Professor pointed out that:

Our experience is+
- the X11 installation on Solaris is too old for these packages. We use the one from OpenCSW (see the R-admin manual). cairographics in particular has moved on a lot since the 2005 release of Solaris 10 (cairo reached version 1.0 after that).+
- we failed to build RGtk2 with the SunStudio compiler, and had to use gcc.+

Does anyone can help me to build RGtk2, perhapers first to update to a new version of X11 .
