I tried installing on my system - Intel iMac OS 11.7.2 .
I followed a bunch of instructions from the togaware site, even playing
with 'brew' to install stuff.
As stated by folks below, rattle 5.5.1 still tries to get RGtk2
rolling. I also found that attempts to load the RGtk2 library as
installed from togaware leads to inconsistent responses:
[ and notice also the apparent attempt of the 4.2 directory to reference
a nonexistent 4.1 directory! WTF??? ]
Rgames> library(RGtk2)
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :

If the package still does not load, please ensure that GTK+ is installed
and that it is on your PATH environment variable
IN ANY CASE, RESTART R BEFORE TRYING TO LOAD THE PACKAGE AGAIN
Warning message:
Failed to load RGtk2 dynamic library, attempting to install it.
Rgames> library(RGtk2)
# no error or response from this second try
And then if I try to start rattle up:
Rgames> rattle()
Error in .C("R_gtkInit", length(args), x = args, success = logical(1), :
"R_gtkInit" not available for .C() for package "RGtk2"
I spent rather too much time reading thru the help and support pages at
togaware.com ; my conclusion is that rattle is abandonware. Those pages
clearly haven't been updated in over 5 years. 'brew' commands are
deprecated, for example.

Package RGtk2 was archived in 2021. The current rattle (5.5.1) does not

Is https://rattle.togaware.com/rattle-install-mac.html not the right place
to look? It had been a few years, but Togaware used to be the right
starting point. Also searching for installing Rattle on Mac
(unsurprisingly) delivered a ton of hits, many obviously stale, but some
not so obviously so. But pkg, devel, brew ... I am observing the same
behavior (errant environment variable?)
Step 0 Downloaded R https://cran.r-project.org
There were many different attempts at step 1, the seemingly most obvious
one from togaware has instructions from 2018, so I wasn't terribly
surprised that it failed. I was surprised at the *way* it failed
Step 1 install.packages('rattle') # picked the TX mirror, as they are
physically reasonably close.
Even trying again with the install.packages("
https://access.togaware.com/RGtk2_2.20.36.2.tgz";, repos=NULL) before the
rattle install, it is offering to install GTK+, and installs the wrong one.

So, this claims to be 5.5.1, but it does insist on RGtk2, and I'm getting
the wrong RGtk2. Obviously there must be something in my environment that
differs from yours, or the TN repository is somehow wrong..
quit R.app, and restarting...
