Need help with new port math/ggobi

[Rainer Hurling]

I am working on a new port math/ggobi and could need some help. If you 
are interested you will find my draft version attached. It should be 
stored under math/ggobi.

I use the linux version of ggobi from http://www.ggobi.org/downloads/ , 
a small fancy program for data visualization like math/xgobi, but newer 
and more adapted for use with math/R and with opensource license (not 
restricted). Under the given URL there is also a brief description on 
how the program authors recommend to install ggobi step by step.

My port tries do recreate this procedure. Additionally I had to patch 
plugins/GraphLayout/graphviz.c because port graphics/graphviz only uses 
floating point version of ND_coord. The build and install process seems 
to work good so far. Probably you will find some improvements ;-)

There are some obscurities I am struggling with:

1. The port needs libraries gtk2 and libxml2.
    Is it ok how the port ensures they are installed?

2. A second make target has to create 'ggobirc'.
    Is it build ok this way?

3. ggobi authors suggest to create /etc/xdg/ggobi/ for resource file.
    A better place would be /usr/local/etc/xdg/ggobi/, I think.
    What do you think? How could this be coded in the port?

4. pkg-plist is not complete at this time because of No. 3.

5. When deinstalling, should we try to remove dirs share/applications
    and etc/xdg? (Mostly they are used by other ports, too)

It would be nice if someone with more experience could help me on how to 
do it the right way :-)

Many thanks in advance,
Rainer Hurling

GGobi is 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.
