Dear John,
Very many thanks. Your hypothesis was completely correct - I did save the
workspace, and this is what created the problem. As a newbie, being part
way through an "exercise", saving my workspace intuitively seemed the right
thing to do. Clearly not! So now, before I closed R and Rcmdr, I copied
and pasted from Rcmdr's script file into a MS Word document, added a few
comments (with preceding #), and then closed without otherwise saving R's
script, output, workspace or markdown. I hope this is reasonable practice.
If not, I would be grateful for guidance on this.
Once again, very many thanks. Joyaa

Dear John, Dear List,
Thank you for responding. Like you, I have tried uninstalling R and
reinstalling
again. Question 1: having uninstalled R, how do you delete the package
library?
You say below that you installed R packages when R was run as administrator
and that you took all defaults. In that case, the installed packages will
be in C:\Program Files\R\R-3.2.2\library . Just delete the library
directory, which will still be there after R 3.2.2 is uninstalled. I do
recommend, by the way, that, for using the Rcmdr, you install R with the SDI
rather than the default MDI, but that doesn't explain your difficulties.
I have used defaults throughout the process, except for running the whole
things
as Administrator rather than a User. For the mirror, my first two install
attempts
were via a mirror in Germany. My 3rd and 4th attempts via Cambridge, UK.
Perhaps importantly: the first time I ran the RcmdrPlugin.survival plug-in
it
worked fine.
If you said that before, I missed it.
I got half way through the exercise I was attempting, then closed
the programs for the night. The next day, when I tried to reload the
plugin from
R Commander, the plugin asked me to restart R Commander, but on opting for
"Yes", this is when R Commander does not open properly.
Here's my hypothesis: When you "closed" R, you saved the R workspace. My
guess is that this is the source of your problem. If so, the saved workspace
is in the file .RData in your home directory; delete it and try again.
If this works, in future, exit from the Rcmdr and R via the Rcmdr menus (or
if closing R directly, don't save the workspace).
I hope this helps,
John

Dear Joyaa,
I too run R 3.2.2 on a Windows 10 system. I uninstalled R, deleted my
package
library, and then reinstalled R and the Rcmdr and RcmdrPlugin.survival
packages.
I took all defaults, except that I selected the SDI rather than the
default MDI for
Rgui, but I seriously doubt that this is the source of your problem. I
used the 0-
Cloud mirror, both for R
3.2.2 and for packages.
I'm afraid that I can't duplicate your problem -- everything works
perfectly fine
for me.
You provided a reasonable amount of detail, but is there anything else you
can
add?
Best,
John

Hello r-help,
I am quite new to R. I downloaded R 3.2.2 for Windows to use with Windows
10.
On attempting to load the RcmdrPlugin.survival plug-in I got this error
message:
Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj") :
[tcl] invalid command name "configure".
The lead-up to this was:
* I uninstalled R 3.2.2 and deleted all R files I could find.
* Downloaded R 3.2.2 to do a fresh install
* Opened the .exe file as Administrator
* Ran 64-bit R as Administrator
* Updated all packages
* Installed Rcmdr and RcmdrPlugin.survival
* Ran Rcmdr using library(Rcmdr) from the console
* This required an install of a host of packages, which I installed
* Loaded RcmdrPlugin.survival from the Tools menu
* I was asked to restart R commander, and when I tried it didn't open
properly
(showing only File/Edit/Data in the menu bar), and this wouldn't close
properly
either. The error message as above showed in the console.
I haven't posted to the list before and would be very grateful for help.
Thank you. Joyaa
