It's my vague impression that View() is workable on Windows and maybe on MacOS, but on Ubuntu Linux 9.04 (intrepid) it seems completely unstable. I can reliably crash R by trying to look at a very small, simple data frame ...
I was going to try to run with debug turned on, but my installed version (2.9.0) doesn't have debugging symbols, and I'm having trouble building the latest SVN version (./configure gives "checking for recommended packages... ls: cannot access ./src/library/Recommended/boot_*.tar.gz: No such file or directory") Can anyone confirm? cheers Ben Bolker R --vanilla > v <- data.frame(1:3,2:4) > sessionInfo() R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17) i486-pc-linux-gnu locale: LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base > View(v) [change focus to the view window, hit "down arrow"] > *** caught segfault *** address 0x4, cause 'memory not mapped' Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled) 2: normal R exit 3: exit R without saving workspace 4: exit R saving workspace Selection: 3
