Installation of Package ‘rggobi’ requires GGobi


Installation of package ‘rggobi’ had non-zero exit status on my way to solve all the rattle dependencies.

rggobi is an interface from R to GGobi – an open source visualization program for exploring high-dimensional data. It provides highly dynamic and interactive graphics such as tours, as well as familiar graphics such as the scatterplot, barchart and parallel coordinates plots. Plots are interactive and linked with brushing and identification (from the package description).

When trying to install rggobi R complained accordingly error: Package requirements (ggobi >= 2.1.6) were not met: No package 'ggobi' found

and the fix is not hard to figure out:
sudo aptitude install ggobi

rggobi also depends on RGtk2 which in turn requires libglade. That was another post.
