[R-gui] Seeking comments/testers for a new GUI
I'm using XP, but I tested an earlier version on Vista. It looks like the launcher is having some trouble finding your installation. I don't have much to do with the launcher, so I've forwarded your message to an appropriate list. I'll see if I can test on a vista machine some time today.

The version of JGR I was using is 1.7.0. On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 7:57 AM, Gabor

What version of Windows and JGR did you try? ?I haven't been able to get JGR to work on Windows Vista with R 2.9 and JGR 1.6.7 or JGR 1.6.6 (the prior version of JGR). When I run jgr.exe it seems to install something the first time and on subsequent calls to jgr.exe without arguments it tries to install it again but fails. Since calling it without args fails, I tried this as well as numerous variations of arguments as well as using or not using ?R_LIBS, R_LIBS_USER, etc. e.g. setlocal set R_LIBS_USER=%USERPROFILE%\Documents\R\win-library\2.9 set R_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-29~1.X jgr.exe --libpath=%R_LIBS_USER% --rhome=%R_HOME% endlocal but in all cases JGR opens and then immediately closes. With the prior version of JGR, 1.6.6, the above hung and I had to kill it
with
task manager. ? Also with the prior version of task manager if I removed the R_LIBS_USER line then it would open but give a huge number of errors and the user library would not be on .libPaths(). On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 7:06 PM, Ian Fellows<ifellows at ucsd.edu> wrote:
I haven't tested with Linux, only windows and os x. Swing is supposed to
be
cross platform, but some times these things don't work quite as planned. I just installed fresh on a windows machine from CRAN which worked okay
but
I did notice one potential problem. The JGR launcher will download the
newest dev version of JGR (1.7) if no version is currently present. So,
there is an additional step of opening the native R console and entering
install.packages("JGR").
This is not the problem on your system, as you are running 1.6-7. I'll
have
to find a linux machine and do some testing to figure out what is going
on.
As I said, this is very much in the pre-alpha stage, so this is useful information for me. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for looking Tom. Are you entering "library(Deducer)" from within the JGR console? What version of JGR are you using? The version number is displayed on
the
splash screen at start up, and should be 1.6-7. What operating system are you using? Is your R up to date? i.e. Version 2.9.0 Are there any warnings/errors?
