Hi ronggui, I tried to install your package under linux (Kubuntu Intrepid), but the depending package RGtk2 does not install under Linux, some kind of an error
Warning message: In install.packages(c("DBI", "RSQLite", "RGtk2", "gWidgets", "gWidgetsRGtk2")) installation of package 'RGtk2' had non-zero exit status You're saying RQDA can be used under Linux, but can it work without RGtk2?
