Installing Rgraphviz
====================
Windows
=======
Install an Rgraphviz binary package in the usual way
Source based installation
=========================
The Rgraphviz package depends on the Graphviz library which can be
obtained from http://www.graphviz.org/.
At present, Rgraphviz is known to work with Graphviz versions 2.2,
2.4, and 2.6.
To install Graphviz:
1. Download the source tarball from http://www.graphviz.org/
2. Unpack the distribution (tar -xzvf)
3. Read the Graphviz installation instructions. Basically, you
should be able to do:
./configure
make
make install
For the most recent version of Graphviz, you will also need to make
sure that pkg-config (http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/wiki/) is
installed on your system. If you install Graphviz to a non-standard
location, you may need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
to tell pkg-config where the Graphviz metadata lives. Here is an example:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/me/graphviz/lib/pkgconfig
At this point you should be able to install Rgraphviz either via R CMD
INSTALL or by starting R and using install.packages.
Note that older versions of Graphviz use a configure script called
dotneato-config which must be in your PATH for Rgraphviz to find it.
This is instead of the pkg-config setup.
