Greetings, I have been having a problem installing RQDA on my Mac (OS 10.13.2). I followed the installation process on the RQDA page ( http://rqda.r-forge.r-project.org/), but I keep getting an error message saying that I am missing pkg-config and GTK. I reinstalled XQuartz and GTK+ 2.24.17 multiple times (and reinstalled R version 3.4.4), but kept receiving the same error message. I also tried to install RGtk2 from MacPort, but got the same error messages. I am posting the log below, in hope it will help someone to see the problem/solution.
In my Googling for solution, I saw some other people posting the same problem, but have not seen a solution. I'd appreciate if anyone could help me to fix this. I really would love to be able to use RQDA! Thanks in advance for your help.
