Brew formula for gtk+ no longer has --with-gdktarget or --enable-x11-backend options. So now what do we R homebrew "enthusiasts" do ...

Try this (no longer need to edit the gtk+ formula):

system('brew reinstall gtk+')
install.packages('RGtk2', type = 'mac.binary.el-capitan', repos = 'https://macos.rbind.org')

Dear Yihue, I have successfully installed Rgtk2 using your code above, and I can do library(RGtk2) with no warning or error messages. However, when I run install.packages("cairoDevice") I get:

ERROR: gtk+2.0 not found by pkg-config.

ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘cairoDevice’

What did possibly go wrong with the installation of gtk+ that doesn't allow the installation of cairoDevice but allowed the installation of RGtk2?

I just rebuilt the cairoDevice binary on macos.rbind.io, so you can simply install the binary from this repo.
