Hi Addy,

yes, in R 2.12 the location of the executables files has changed, this
makes the HR plugin not working. I'm not a python/R guy, but probably
the library that have to catch up is rpy2(?).

In any case there are still unsloved problems in the plugin (Anne, do
you confirm?): using an older version of R (2.9.2 is what I observed) is
the workaround at the moment.

Cheers
