In a series of Bioc package installation,  latest R 3.5.1 patched, .. part of the log below (why limited to 15000 chars ????)

The OS is  Linux Fedora F28, pretty well setup... earlier versions of Rgraphviz installed well

I've also tried to install with "external" graphviz library -- which however seems too new for this Rgraphviz package.There the compilation already fails because clearly the API of graphviz has changed .. and the C code in Rgraphviz would have to be updated for such a newer graphviz.

--------------

I'd be very happy for help / hints.

Libraries have been installed in:
   /tmp/RtmpYgygwD/R.INSTALL3c7bf5e0396/Rgraphviz/src/libunix/lib/graphviz

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
