Dear all - I do fret this to be a revealing beginner question - fortunately, this mailing list have been good to me in the paste .-)
I am looking for a good R editor/environment in ubuntu. To that end, I have decided to dive into gvim as the modality offered here seems to make sense for editing. I want to use Johannes Ranke's vim r-plugin, but I can't make it work. I have the plugin installed, and this confirmed "vim-addons" I set the new file to r :"set ft=r" I open a terminal and start R "R" Then when I press F2 in vim - nothing happens (some text flashes at the botom of the screen - but I can't read it. It's not an error messages though) when I try to run an R command eg, "x <- rnorm(100,10,5)" vim returns this error: "~/.pipe" E212: can't open file for wirting" What have I done wrong? I suspect maybe it's got something to do the funnel.pl - but I have installed the script from Johannes Ranke's repository - so there should be no need to install funnel.pl? Any help much appreciated Sincerely, Andreas -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/R-and-vim-%28gvim%29-on-ubuntu-tp22377215p22377215.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
