Linux user asks: What about that Editor you have built-in. Can we compile it too?
I use the nice java GUI "JGR" for both my own use and in teaching. See http://jgr.markushelbig.org/JGR.html Like R itself, JGR offers a single, free tool that works across all 3 platforms (but I have not used it with Linux). I have extracted and attached the relevant pages from Bob Muenchen's excellent 2009 Springer book, "R for SAS and SPSS Users," which I even recommend--heartily--to statistical computing virgins. This book has lots of down-to-earth information illustrated with good examples--including stuff I have not found in other books in this niche.

I use Linux only and have been teaching students with Emacs & ESS. Lately, we've had some troubles with that combination that are not solved, and it has caused me to look about for alternatives. One of my students has a Macintosh and he showed me that the R that he installed came with an editor that does what we need. The command-shift sends lines over. So I started to wonder: why can't we compile that Editor in Linux? If a Mac is really BSD Unix with a layer of libraries, it should be possible. There are GNUstep libraries to duplicate much of the NextStep framework, but I have not studied enough on current Mac systems to know how close we might be to building the Mac R editor along with R itself. I've been Googling and searching in this lists archive and don't find much discussion on this. If anybody has ideas about whether this is possible, please advise. pj -- Paul E.
