Re: [AniMov] I found the problem! :) FW: problem loading Hore Range plugin for QGIS
Hi, Just a small note in case you encounter the same problem with installation as I did today on colleagues machine: You need to have C:\Program Files\R\R-2.10.1\bin\ in PATH enviroment in Windows (XP in my case). Otherwise the HR plugin popups up error message saying that 'ade4' package was not found by R. this is boring but at least common also to other software packages under windows (postgresql for exemple). The really annoying thing is that under Vista/Seven R libraries are installed in one (user profile) folder but then the plugin(s) look into another one. cheers -- Giovanni -- ___ AniMov mailing list AniMov@faunalia.it http://lists.faunalia.it/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/animov

Hi Anne, and suppose that downgrading to R 2.9 is the current workaround for Windows. the latest version of the plugin now works also under Windows with R 2.12 (tested with 2.11.1). The two major issues under windows are then: * the plugin doesn't work with R = 2.12 (rpy2 problem) * the plugin (?) looks for R libraries in a folder different from the one where R installs them (at least under Seven, and I guess Vista. Don't know under XP). cheers -- Giovanni -- ___ AniMov mailing list AniMov@faunalia.it http://lists.faunalia.it/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/animov

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.

I used the newest R (-2.12.1), and in this the R.exe and R.dll have been put in a separate I386 folder in the BIN folder. I have now removed the newest version of R and replaced it by R-2.10.0, which has no I386 folder in its BIN. Obviously the code in the Home Range Plugin is looking for the R.dll in the BIN folder, but not in the I386 folder inside the BIN in the newest R version. So for new users like me, there should be a notification/warning on http://www.qgis.org/wiki/HomeRange_plugin#State_of_the_art NOT to use a newer version of R than 2.10.0 in windows (I am using windows 7 ultimate). Now I am looking forward to really use the plugin for Home Range Analysis of our otter data. Thanks for making this open source software available!

Remember me? Friend of Lorenzo. I noticed you came a long way with the open source GIS developments. Nice. For our VHF and GPS tracking work the HomeRange plugin for QGIS looks very promising to me (http://www.qgis.org/wiki/HomeRange_plugin#State_of_the_art). I have tried to install it following correctly the installation requirements on my windows 7 PC. It is however a pity that I get all the time the error messages shown in the attachments. I have set R_HOME manually to the ~\BIN\I386 folder, but also to the root of these C:\Progra~1\R\R-2.12.1. Neither of these settings works. Therefore I like to ask you if you have any idea, what might be wrong here. Your help is much appreciated.

Re: [AniMov] I found the problem! :) FW: problem loading Hore Range plugin for QGIS
Hi,
It has become clear to me that the latest windows binaries for the following
R packages
* package adehabitat and its dependencies
* package rgdal and its dependencies
* package gpclib
have been build under R version 2.12.1. Therefore they will not work with
older R versions
(e.g. because of that ade4 could not be attached). I noticed after
downloading these packages that in their lib folder there
are also a i386 and a x64 folder in which their dll is situated. That makes
sense, because the latest
version of R also has in its bin folder this choice for the 32 or 64 bit
Windows versions to use i386 or x64.
I tried to copy the dll for each package to its lib folder (one folder level
higher) to make it available for my present version of R.
For the first packages this seemed to work, but after I did it for all I got
the following
warnings in R and consequently I was not able in QGIS to get my home range
analysis output.
Warning messages:
1: package 'adehabitat' was built under R version 2.12.1
2: package 'gpclib' was built under R version 2.12.1
local({pkg - select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)))
+ if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)})
Error in registerS3method(Info[i, 1], Info[i, 2], Info[i, 3], env) :
trying to get slot methods from an object of a basic class (NULL) with
no slots
In addition: Warning message:
package 'rgdal' was built under R version 2.12.1
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'rgdal'
local({pkg - select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)))
+ if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)})
Error in registerS3method(Info[i, 1], Info[i, 2], Info[i, 3], env) :

In addition: Warning message:

Error: package/namespace load failed for 'rgdal'
I think the way to get it to work is to use the old binary packages for
adehabitat (incl. ade4),
rgdal (incl. sp) and gpclib, which have worked for the previous version of R
(= version 2.10.0).
But where can these old windows binary packages be downloaded? For those of
you still working with an older version of R and a working Home Range
plugin, please zip your R packages (and dependencies) and make them
available for download.
Otherwise I guess somewhere in the code of the plugin there should be other
paths pointing to the i386 and x64 folders to get it working with the latest
R version for windows.
I hope this all made sense.
Best wishes,
Addy

yes, the library that creates the problem is rpy2. Sadly, there is no

Too bad! I do not like to build on sand. Any reasonable alternative?
All the best.
