Hello, Attached is an ebuild for ggobi_0.99-10. It can make use of the USE variables gtk2, mysql, postgres, perl, python, and xml, though, alas, at present none of these features actually appear to work in the program (this is elaborated on in the ebuild). Also, due to the brain-dead nature of the install process, some unpleasantness occurs in src_install(). GGobi allows the user to better visualize higher-dimensional data, and may be used in conjunction with dev-lang/R by installing the requisite R package to allow the user to do things such as interactively manipulate data clouds, etc. See http://www.ggobi.org for more details. I suggest placing this ebuild in app-sci/ggobi, and strongly recommend keeping it masked until it becomes more stable. Also, you may wish to look up the ebuild I created for xgobi (the predecessor to ggobi) as well. Thanks, --Don Giuliano

Created attachment 85970 [details] ggobi-2.1.2.ebuild Hi, I just added a new ggobi-2.1.2.ebuild for the latest version of ggobi, a visualisation application for exploring high-dimensional data. The installation can be configured with 7 use flags to identify which plugins to accompany the installation. "all-plugins" installs ggobi with all plugins, whereas "dataviewer", "describedisplay", "graphlayout", "ggvis", "graphaction", and "varcloud" identify the individual plugins available. The ebuild has been tested on x86 with all the different configuration options. I hope this ebuild can be reviewed and put into the portage tree, as I think this application really rocks and would be beneficial for anyone interested in exploratory data analysis. If anybody has suggestions to improve the quality of this ebuild, please let me know and I'll improve the existing one. As the previous post, I think this application is best suited for the app-sci category. Regards, Dominik
Should now be in sci-visualization. Just renaming the ebuild for 2.1.2 to ggobi-2.1.4.ebuild seems to work fine with the 2.1.4 version of ggobi. What do we need to do to have that in the main tree?
Created attachment 117205 [details] ggobi-2.1.4.ebuild Fixed path to configuration directory.
I just downloaded and built the stock GGobi 2.1.5 successfully on both -march=athlon-tbird and -march=athlon64. I think there are some other folks on gentoo-science that would like to see this in sci-visualization. I'm about to test the R interface. Meanwhile, count me as another vote for this getting into Portage -- I really want to do brushing, etc., and if both Debian and Fedora distribute this, so should Gentoo. ;)
Either find a maintainer, or if you want to maintain it yourself, feel free to reopen and join project sunrise, details here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/sunrise Thanks. WONTFIX.

ggobi 2.1.6 is out To use it :- cd /usr/local/portage/sci-visualisation/ggobi mv ggobi-2.1.4.ebuild ggobi.2.1.6.ebuild ebuild ggobi-2.1.6.ebuild digest ebuild ggobi-2.1.6.ebuild fetch emerge ggobi Works on x86 and amd64 for me.
