That may have messed things up if it modified your PATH environment settings.
You should notice that the instructions on the
http://rqda.r-forge.r-project.org/ page are to install the GTK+ binary from
http://r.research.att.com/

So you are on a Mac. There's a special mailing list for us. Have you
installed Xcode and the CLT?
You will need to read and foolw the advice at the top of the following page:
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/
Have you searched StackOverflow? I found teh following answer there. (I think
it's a bit incomplete since you should have the system variables set
according to the Tools page, so I editted that answer.) But this looked like a
starting point ... after setting environment variables and getting the Fortran
compileras per above
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19645590/running-rattle-on-mac-os-x-10-9-mavericks/19719518#19719518
Do not reply to this mailing list (or to just me); rather send it to the
R-SIG-Mac mailing list (after subscribing and reading the Posting Guide which it
appears you have not done.)
