Rattle - libglade not found
Graham, The instructions for adding the CRAN repositories are here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ But let me expand on them a little. This is assuming you have sudo rights. If you do not, forward this email to your administrator. In a terminal, enter sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list At the very end of this file, add the following two lines: ## CRAN deb http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/bin/linux/ubuntu <http://%3Cmy.favorite.cran.mirror%3E/bin/linux/ubuntu> jaunty/ Save and close the editor. Then in the terminal run these lines: gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key E2A11821 gpg -a --export E2A11821 | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base This will authenticate the code, remove the old R and install the newest version. For a program like R in which there is constant development and bug fixes (but not many), it is a good idea to use the most recent version from CRAN. Michael

Paul, Thanks, 2.8.1 is the most up to date in the Ubuntu Repository, so that is the one I am using with Ubuntu. As a novice Ubuntu user I have been given the impression that it is best to stick with the version via synaptic/ubuntu repository BUT i agree this could well be a version incompatibility issue as rattle isn't available from the Ubuntu repository and installed directly from CRAN. Maybe I need to uninstall the Ubuntu repository version and install the latest from CRAN. I admit I find this what to install from where a bit confusing.

That a very outdated version of R, current is R2.10
I just installed r2.10 and used

install.packages() # choose rattle

so perhaps a new intall and check those "attached packages listed above"
I have ubuntu 8.1 so you may need to check those library versions

I have just installed rattle on Ubntu 9.04, and R 2.8.1 and get an
error message when I try to run it.
library(rattle)
rattle()
Error in rattle() : The RGtk2 package did not find libglade installed. Please install it. I have installed libglade2-dev through synaptic, and following suggestion from an earlier thread re-installed RGtk2 using install.packages, and through synaptic. Can anyone offer some help - you may realise that I am not that familiar with Linux/Ubuntu. Many thanks, Graham P.S. I have cross posted this on the Ubuntu forum, before remembering this forum existed.
