R-2.0.1 and Rggobi

Hi,

Thanks for that - I attempted to install the earlier versions I had been 
successful with before - Rggobi 1.0.0 and ggobi 1.0.0-beta. The R side of 
things wouldn't compile out of the box due to a change in the R_IsNaNorNA 
function. This caused a problem in RSGgobi.c, which I fixed by adding the 
following patch:

static int G_IsNaNorNA(double f)
{
 return (R_IsNaN(f) || R_IsNA(f));
}

and changed
  GGobi_setMissingValueIdentifier(R_IsNaNorNA);
to
  GGobi_setMissingValueIdentifier(G_IsNaNorNA);

I can at least load the package and start ggobi now.

Thanks

Hi,
I've had no luck with the combination of R-2.0.1 and Rggobi/gobi (1.1-1 
and 1.0-1 beta). I've tried a default configuration of ggobi, as well as 
one with all the plugins enabled. I'm using RedHat 9 Linux.

The problem I'm experiencing is a segmentation fault when library.dynam is 
called from .First.lib

ggobi appears to work OK from the command line. I had an earlier 
combination working under R-1.8.1

Does anyone have fixes/suggestions?

It still works for me as this cut&pasted session log from ESS shows:

but I'd also be the first to tell you that I (as the maintainer of these
Debian packages) kept the versions frozen as I had difficulties building 
the
newer ggobi and/or Rggobi versions (and possible combinations, been a while
I since I tried last):

edd@basebud:~> COLUMNS=120 dpkg -l "*ggobi*" | cut -c -80

Sources for these are on any Debian mirror and possibly also still on
ggobi.org.  Can't recall if we needed patches; if so they also be on the
Debian mirrors.

Hope this helps, Dirk
