Full_Name: Hin-Tak Leung Version: R 2.2.0 OS: x86 linux Submission from: (NULL) (131.111.126.242) Rgnome depends libglade 0.x and libxml 1.x . They are no longer shipped with Redhat EL4. (I know they are still in fedora core 4). Just a wish-list.
But what is the wish? You mean get it upgraded to xml2 and glade2? Patches would likely be accepted...
:-). libglade went from 0.17 to 1.99 then 2.x, but the current Rgnome code depends on some of <0.17-specific stuff. Already tried against libglade 2 - not trivial. It probably also requires changing to gtk2 also... Just like to have it in the distant TODO list, and not forgotten... Hin-Tak Leung
According to the R Admin manual (2.2.0) on page 34: "This interface is experimental and incomplete. The console offers a basic command line editing and history mechanism, along with tool and button bars that give a point-and-click console to some R commands. Many of the features of the console are currently stubs, and the console is **no longer under development**: it has been kept available as an example of adding a front-end to R." This language (my emphasis added) would suggest that a TODO list does not (or should not) exist...so Peter's suggestion would seem spot on. HTH, Marc Schwartz
